Good and bad news time...

The bad news!!... we still don't have a kitchen, but the good news....we got our money back from the credit card company...YEAH!!!! So we can now re-commission another kitchen company, that won't go under!! Fingers & toes crossed!

More good news, our blinds and shutters have all now been installed and they look fabulous, were extremely happy with them.
More good and bad news...our pool fencing was installed, the glass looks a picture, the fencing looks good too, however they installed the wrong colour....its supposed to be black!! They somehow got their wires or should I say fencing crossed with the colour of the side gates, which are correct, as we wanted them to blend into the house colour, eventually, when we get around to painting the wall. So the question is....to keep the fence as it is and live with it, (its actually not a bad colour - it could have been white) or to get them to change it to the black we initially wanted?

The pool is going to be rendered this week, then we have to wait a couple of weeks till they put the top coat on, then they can fill it.

The landscaper is going to start soon too, though I am now re-considering our initial choice of plants!! A woman's prerogative to change her mind I think!

Another good note, we discovered another winery today, we went for a walk outside of the Vintage around the back lane and popped in, as you do in the Hunter Valley, to a winery - Calais Estate Wines...the reds were delicious, particularly the 2005 Chambourcin, 2007 Petit Verdot and the 2004 Shiraz.....yum!

Until the next update, with hopefully lots of good news!
