Halcyon renovation has move on a bit since April 2012. We now have exterior cladding on the two biggest sides of the house

 and a completely new, open plan, layout inside with a spacious kitchen, diner, living room.
The house has been rewired and new plasterboard has been put up.
We are just waiting for the plasterer to come in before a new heated floor goes down and a new kitchen gets fitted. I think we are all looking forward to getting hot water back.
Our last trip, for a week over new year saw us fit a new window between the kitchen and the sun room to make the most of the beautiful views over the river to the national trust property beyond.
The sun room refurbishment is almost complete with cladding up on most of the walls. A pot plant has even moved in.

We still don't have a functioning bathroom, and that is on my list for the next trip. I'm not looking forward to having to move the toilet . Even if the boys don't mind not having a shower during the trips up there, if the wind blows in the wrong direction I think the locals may object :-)
