Dedicated To Daniel

IN MEMORY OF DANIEL

A dear, sweet, little boy who died suddenly on 20th April 2009.
I am posting again below, the photograph of Daniel & his mum, my friend, Joanne, that was originally posted on my blog on 1st June 2007. It was
taken during one of their many family visits to Zakynthos.
I feel privileged to have known Daniel for part of his short life & will always hold my own personal memories of him. I would like to ask anyone reading this blog to remember Daniel's mum & dad, Joanne & Steve, in their prayers as they try to come to terms with the loss of their much loved son.

GOODNIGHT DANIEL & GOD BLESS

More progress on the house build

With the arrival of warmer weather there is now work being carried out on the new house most days. I met with the builder at the house yesterday to decide a few details such as where I want the gate, water tank, boiler house etc to be positioned outside. It's estimated that I should be able to move in around 10th May. As I will be working by then I have asked if it might be possible to start moving a few things in a little before that & my builder is happy for me to do that once the inside is fully completed. So here are the latest pictures:

Below - Coming down my new stairs, which will soon be stained & varnished, is Stavros who has been doing some final plastering work, painting & varnishing. He's got used to us just dropping in for a nosey around. He's a lovely guy & is always ready for a chat.

Below - The kitchen units are mostly all in now.

I'm getting really quite excited now that I am seeing everything finally coming together & I'm really looking forward to having visitors to 'my home' this Summer.
