    Oh poor Pal, bet you can't wait to get back to work, :) Shopping is something men will never understand ok? You just have to live with it, lol.

    Hope everything went ok at the hospital, sounds like you're raring to go.....back to work. Maybe you'll have more understanding of what Mrs P has to go through every day now, ha ha.

    cheers

    Marley,the widow is deceptive in the fact the beads are stuck on the full sized glass panes inside & out....makes for easier glazing but if it gets a crack the whole thing comes out...that means a day's work!:doh:

    Penny...Here is a conversion I visited yesterday to snag some work we did....
    [​IMG]
    I glazed the small building and then booked a massage which I had this morning and I treated Mrs Pal to an eye brow wax:scratch::hehe:
    [​IMG]
    Afterwards we drove past a cottage in Chipping Campden....What do you think of this Penny?:gnthb:

    Still not back to work yet but I went with my son to service a pool at a property which overlooks Lyme Regis. It had a beautiful,if a little over grown, garden....and I was offered a job as a gardener:wink: However the 6 hour round trip would kill the job I reckon:D

    The harbour

    Several years ago I did a survey on the windows in the pub called the Cob down there,I then informed the brewery that they were in fact made of bronze to counteract the salt air and should not have been painted. I was thrilled to see they have been restored to original appearance:gnthb:

    Part of the defense wall...There is a sign saying'Keep off the rocks'...can you see the anglers!! :dh:

    Like the Guildhall, Cambridge, built 1938 and never been painted. The doors are bronze covered as well.
