Caroline finish off the fireplace this morning by brushing the excess off the stonework to leave a nice clean finish. I think if there had been cement in the mix it would have set onto the stones and looked messy.
I've been stuck scraping the remains of wallpaper off the stairwell in our house. When I say wallpaper it was actually a pink carpet-like material that must have been stuck on with evo-stick. It's been a nightmare to clean and fill ready for painting. A coat of white emulsion late last night and it doesn't look too bad. Mind you decorating always looks OK in artificial light. Let us see in the morning.
As you can tell the focus shifts from the gites to our own house during the summer. Whilst the gites are occupied we concentrate on the gardens and general DIY in our own home. However the weather has been very showery for the last week keeping us out of the garden and off the beach.
