Broadlands Park

I have just got back from a weeks holiday (in not very sunny Corfu), & was amazed to see how much work had been done in the garden. Geoff & Ralph having been working very hard to make the home self sufficient in the vegetable department!

Runner beans have been set, four rows of potatoes and Ralph is talking about other root vegetables to go in. We will now have to get a shed for Geoff to ‘potter’ in!

Monday was mixed with emotions, saying goodbye to the builders who have been with us now for nearly two years. Their site huts were moved last week giving us back our drive!

We have been working hard Eric, Nigel & Rebecca have worked the last two weekends, moving furniture, painting & organising!

The new lounge.

We had the registration inspector from CQC out yesterday & hopefully we will be soon registered for 34 clients.

 Hopefully, the builders should be finished on Friday 12th Feb. Exactly one year & a week since we moved into the extension at the back. Everything is coming together, carpets going down, door furniture all being fixed. We have replaced the balustrades at the front of the house, with a black wrought iron one. Dad replaced some of the original uprights on the old balustrade with ones that he made, unfortunately they were very rotten. I think he will approve of the new design.

We had to alter where we came into the house as well, the temporary corridor has now been knocked down & we are able to use a side entrance on the other-side of the building. This will only be till we can use front door.

New entrance lobby.

On the 16thDecember we held our Christmas Party Afternoon. Graham John’s played a keyboard & entertained with festive songs & Carols, then a raffle was held raising money for clients funds, ( I will let you know how much we raised once it has all been collected) Father Christmas made an appearance & gave out presents to everyone ( pictures to follow) a large buffet was offered & then at 6pm Jack & The Beanstalk pantomime was performed followed by more Carols & Christmas songs. It was lovely to hold the party in the festivley decorated new dining room & lounge and to be joined byso  many relatives & friends.

Things are moving ahead at a pace now. The plasterer’s have finished, all the artex (those of you who remember!) has now all gone! The painters are in & the lights are in place & working. Hopefully by mid February it will all be completed, exactly a year after we vacated the house & moved into the extension.

The new stair case, the walls have now been plastered.
