No Kippers But Plenty Of Nets

Never sweep.After four years the dirt gets no worst. Quentin Crisp

Welcome to December!

 I was up early to listen to "The Sounds of the 60's"

We listened to the rest of the show in a nice warm bed.

After getting up and having breakfast.

It was time to upgrade the house a little bit.

Net curtains and tidying up bedrooms was top of the list.

Time for some fresh air!

 

 We managed to get a parking space.

First stop was my Dunelm Experience.

 Picked up net curtains and net curtain wire.

Next stop was to get some top up shopping in Lidl.

My older son had some nice blue net curtains.

My younger son had some nice green and white net curtains.

We had some nice blue bird net curtains in the small window.

It was time to relax....

 I put another internet order for some more net curtains for the huge stairs window.

Must remember to wear the Winter hat,
