July...... part 1

The beginning of July saw us both back at work for first time since May 2009. I can´t say it was a joy to be back! Bestemor and Bestefar were in for the week to look after Milly. We had dinner at Uncle Kristoffer´s, which was as ever, a joy. He is actually a really good cook and the blog thoroughly recommends a visit if you get the chance. During that week we were finally rid of the scaffolding around the house. There are still things to finish. The window in Milly´s room and the front door are still to be changed..... but we´re getting closer. The windows and the outside of the house look really good..... we´re not quite cleared up even now...... the roses are still to be hooked back up for example..... but it´s good to have finally got the outside of the house sorted..... we knew it would have to be done sooner or later, but it feels a bit more urgent when, during the winter, the snow starts coming through the front door!!
