New Year New View

Up till now, I don't think we've got far enough across the mudflats to give you a picture of the rear of the house now it's finished.  Today I put my wellies firmly on and waded out there and it looks like this:
The plastic sheet is simulating a pond, or perhaps two pond options which are currently the subject of some debate - oriented long axis towards the back of the garden or parallel to the back of the house.  L-shaped may prove to be the compromise solution...

The new sofa for the snug arrived on Wednesday and yesterday we set everything up (ok, pics not yet on walls, but hey!) and sat with our feet up in front of the telly (out of picture, left).  Alan's bought a new amp and when he put a CD on and turned the sound up, the roof lifted slightly.  The village may yet come to enjoy his power chords...

And on the left is the toaster nook now with shelving and cute LED strip lighting.  No, William, NOT colour change lighting...
