Double wardrobe sold. Decorators here on Monday and the spare/guest room is on the list. In 12 years it’s never been done. Still that lovely pink shade of magnolia 🤮 This was just sitting empty - no I hadn’t filled it with my clothes! Replacing it with a free standing rail or hanging hooks on the wall. The room is rarely used and I might have to put my Mummy’s HUGE dolls house in here. Don’t think I have featured that on Insta. I will once the decorating is done. Now just to go down 2 flights of stairs with the bits! Thankfully @paternityleavedad is coming along later to help. 😀#renovations #flatpack #solidpine

Pixel loves a bit of corduroy. Busy keeping me company today as it’s wet and windy outside. Just how do they purr? #pixelmycat #pet #cat #howdotheypurr

Excellent start to the day @aromaspondon had the health breakfast but I asked for fried bacon instead of grilled 😂. Tasty and great value for money too at £4.50. #shoplocal #breakfast #cafearoma #spondon

Apparently I’m an OK star 😂😂 the sign says release your inner wok star lol. just waiting for my 4th cousin James. Family catch up with a fellow researcher, relative and now friend too 😀#familyhistory #genealogy #dnacousins #cousin #rednose #itscoldoutside

I definitely remember them and try to remember their life and family stories. These are mine and my late husbands relatives who served in WW1. Only one came home, my Grandfather Moses. But that took a toll too. Splitting with his first wife and children. He found love again with my Grandma Sarah. Hence I’m here. #wewillrememberthem #WW1 #WW2 #lifeiscomplicated #lostlives #lostfamily #thecuriouspast #tooyoungtodie

Sorted. But I’m not showing you any photos of the rest of the house 🙈 Time for bed me thinks or maybe some family history research 😉 night night.

This morning my new @cormarcarpets carpet was expertly fitted by Matt from @floorfactoryderby. When it was unwrapped outside I thought it wa#s the wrong colour. It looked so pale. However, as it was laid and out of the sunlight it was definitely the right one. Phew. Just having a relax till finishing off replacing everything. Very excited about next weeks delivery from @longeatonsofas then this area is DONE. Second photo is the old carpet which in the dark looks OK. It wasn’t. @cormarcarpets #naturalberbourtwist #elite #eclipse #80%wool #interiorrevamp #shoplocal #independentbusinesses

Today I’m going to combine #genealogyphotoaday no 4 West and no 5 Book. My Dad’s cousin wrote 31 cowboy books during the ‘60s. I managed to obtain a few from Abebooks and checked out the rest at the British Library. Henry John Keevill wrote under pseudonyms. Many were outlaws or sheriffs names. He appears to have done quite a lot of research in local hostelries. From things my Dad shared he was quite a character. #wildwest #author #henryjohnkeevill #cowboys #genealogyphotoaday #familyhistory #thecuriouspast

Surely 11am isn’t too early for some comfort food. #ricepudding #raspberryjam #homemade #comfortfood #wonderhowlongitwilllast

1st illness of the Autumn/winter ! This is strange - all cough and headache. Lost most of yesterday to sleep. Hoping to be awake more today 👀 As soon as recovered from this I’m off for my flu jab. And definitely a tad confused re the co-codamol. If taking these tablets for longer than 3 days risks addiction and the max is 8 tablets in 24 hours why are they selling them in boxes of 32 and not 24! Just saying. Usually I can say I never get headaches but........ #painkillers #co-codamol #headache

A fabulous family day out at @ntfountainsabbey lots to see and do. The ruins are stunning and awe inspiring. The weather, for the last day of October, was very kind. #fountainsabbey #nationaltrust #ripon #yorkshire #familymemories #familyholiday

Not quite sure what I will do with them but just thought the colours were beautiful. #autumn #autumnleaves #fall #fallcolors #autumncolours
