This is the front of the house. The front garden extends around the half finished garage, which you can see below. The front garden is pretty big. You can see the gap in the hedge, the garden bit round there is mine too.
This is the kitchen. I love the kitchen - nice and big!
Living room - very much like the place I lived in in Hanley Swan, except this place has an open fire. You can see the conservatory in the background
And here is the conservatory :-) It gets really hot in there in this weather - hence the fan in the bottom of the picture. I got the furniture for £26 on eBay, how cool is that?!
And lets not forget the bog! (Heh heh, Ive just blogged my bog!) This pic doesnt really do it justice, cos you can't see the jacuzzi bath. But it is a big bathroom.
Well, here's a few pics of the patio that me and my dad have been building this weekend. I dug out the soil for it a couple of weeks ago, and on Saturday we started to build it. This shot shows the mini mountain I moved (with a shovel, not faith)
This is it once the pavers were laid. That wheel barrow full of hardcore used to be the wall around the edge of the garden, which I knocked down.
This is the wall I built! You can see it taking shape now. Pretty cool wall eh? And the steps are going to look damn good when its done.
Hopefully it will be finished next weekend...why does work have to get in the way of doing stuff you enjoy? :-)

so Mark when is your party???? hope you have loads of spare space for us to crash out and @sleep it off'
To be decided :-)
Which bit? lol
Angela life seems to revolve around wanting to get pissed all the time, i would seriously think about getting some help.
Why is that not what life is about.... I must have been misguided along the way then :(
Looks like a lovely big house with a great kitchen. Gill would love it.
But I think there has to be a debate about the dodgy picture on the living room wall. How should I put this - there's a phrase I know with the words bean and flicking in it!
Hi Tony...I had that pic in Hanley Swan - don't you remember it?! Its called 'Flaming June' apparently.
When you visit the Great Wall of China, see if their brick work is as good as mine :-D
Lord Leighton... how very British of you
if you think that is what life is about then you sertainly have been misguided, gar be it from me to preach(i leave that to others)if you want proof that life is not about getting pissed at eavery opportunity go and have a word with your uncle paul
Lis - I dont understand the Lord Leighton bit??! Explain?!
I would say you suck, Goatse, at least Im not stuck in an airport in Missisippi :-D Im stuck in a bar in Chester - beer me!
mark, what i think lis was saying was that the painting flaming jne was painted by fredric, lord leighton, a victorian artist. a very british aristocrat
Lord Leighton, the artist of 'Flaming June'. He was a painter of the Victorian era, a classicst painter and sculptor.
Did I mention I am also an Art History teacher?
Oh Lord Leigh'ton'. Yes of course I knew what she meant, I mean, Im not some lower working class oik you know - hell I travel First Clarss!
only when your company are paying.
I didn't realise you taught Art History - Im very impressed! Are prints of his art work worth much? :-)
the originals may be worth a few pounds but yours is a reproduction so i wouldnt get excited. the original actually hangs in the museo de arte ponce in puerto rico.
not in a sleepy linc. village but if it was the real thing you may well be climbing on that plane with me to disneyland
"only when your company IS paying".
Sorry, pet hobby horse.
how come you are off to Disneyland Phil??? Isn't it full of carnival music??? Would have thought that wasn't your cup of tea.

oh im ever so sorry. will go back to school and re take my english o level again.
and can i ask how a hobby horse be a pet? its a toy surely. and no angela it isnt my thing. also disneyland will be full of f***ing yanks and i hate them even more than music, but i will make this sacrifice for my kids. thats what you do when you are a parent as you must well know.
Well Im impressed you doing that as a sacrifice for your kids. Would have thought you'd have paid for Tracey and her mum to take them without you.
Rob also refuses to go to Disneyland has he would be deported the first time he hears a yanks voice.
Ever thought of Euro Disney I hear its great there too, with the added bonus of no yanks hopefully.
if im gonna go on a holiday like that i wouldnt dream of euro disney, why take the cheap option, i wanna do it right, and as for paying for tracy and her mum to take them, if we go on a holiday we go together, thats what families do.
We're all family Phil - you should treat us all :-)
Well said Mark.
ill treat you to a nice flower for your garden
I was mixing metaphors for comedic effect.
I enjoyed it - and that's all that matters.
