Photos on a Doggy Walk
While the guys were dismantling the two kitchens on Saturday morning we went for a doggy walk along the canal. I wanted to get a new header photograph ready to use on this blog for when I move into my new place. The weather was cold but gloriously bright, just perfect to get a nice clear shot of the bridge and far too nice to sit on the floor watching men work.
The little barge called My Newt tempts me every time we walk past. Her handrails and trims are all sporting a fresh coat of glossy red paint so I think someone loves her as much as I do.
We walked first one way and then the other as I was trying to get a good shot of this bridge. As you can see from the centre writing it was put up in 1927 and it carries a large water pipe rather than pedestrians, which is a bit sad as it would have been a handy cut through to town if we could get over on it.

It Has to Get Worse Before it Gets Better ...
And the view from the top floor window.
The fence panels that were dividing the two areas originally are going to be used in this area at the end of the annexe and along the bottom of the garden, and a new fence will be put in between us and the neighbours once some more of the work has been done. They have been nice enough to let us be able to remove one of their panels to gain access to the skip at the front through their driveway, as our only access to the front would have been through the house.

Challenge Accepted
I mentioned on Saturdays post about missing Challenges, quickly came up with copying an idea I had seen on YouTube and you were all so quick to support me, so what better time to start a new Challenge than on a Monday morning.
The sun is shining and as the frost melts ...

Missing My Challenges
It's been a long time since I've done a Challenge, a proper Challenge that is one that I can really get my teeth into and channel all my energies.
It was brought home to me a couple of weeks back just how much I was missing them when I bought the above items from Booths one day.
