the final room has been started !!!

The final room in our house to be renovated has started. Monday the 23rd the guys pulled out the horrible gold previous suite! And here are the pictures at the beginning of day two! Lovely, isn't it. The builder asked if it was a DIY job!

Windsor

We were in Windsor at the weekend celebrating our first wedding anniversary.

We visited the castle as you would expect. It was actually very good. You can see the official information here >>

Claire was sharing the audio tour with the little one - never too early to start the education?

A view of the castle on the way up to state rooms and the dolls house.

We ordered a luxury room and we definately got more than the normal hotel room. To start with we had our own garden which was overlooking the river. Here are some shots.

To the left
From our balcany - this is the main bridge. On the other side of the water is Eaton. We went to the school. And then walked back !

We ate at the Stroks restaurant, it was very good. We would recemend you make a visit.

Monkey transport

In preparation of Project Monkey's arrival we have gone out and bought his/her their own chariot.

We have gone for a Scenic ! I know you may think a family option. I have been practising my excuses of why this is still sporty and cool !

Its more powerful than my old golf!
It doesnt need a key! to open or to start the engine.
To start / stop the engine there is a button!
Alloy wheels and electric everything inc AC.
Automatic lights and wipers etc.
Front fogs and wingmirrors that fold in at the touch of a button.
And if you walk away, it closes all the windows, roof and locks itself !
Almost cool?
Plus the wife like it.

We get in this Saturday and then can drive round - I will work on my cool line. :-)
