As my regular readers would know, a large part of last year
was spent in upheaval as an upstairs extension was put onto our house. In the final few weeks of the project I fell
and broke and dislocated my ankle requiring eight nights in hospital, an
operation, eight weeks in a cast, six weeks full time in a boot, then six weeks
part time in the boot. I am now walking with only a small limp, but as there
was a lot of ligament damage it is a slow recovery process.
Luckily the extension was almost finished when I had my
accident, but there were still a number of things still to be done. So whilst lying in a hospital bed, I was
rescheduling tradesmen.
This picture was taken early September, just before my
accident.
This picture was taken in late November after we had moved
into the new space.
Note the windows downstairs have been replaced - it made a
huge difference to the overall appearance of the house once we did this.
This is a picture of the house before the extension – it is
hard to believe it is the same house.
