An Extended Stay

Tonight we leave for a two-week summer holiday at our newly renovated villa. We can't wait to see how the remaining work has turned out, especially in the garden, where the grass should be laid and the flowers and shrubs planted.

Originally, we thought we would spend this time helping to finish up the renovation work (really watching, actually) and getting everything in order, but our project manager and crew have done such a great job of getting things done, all that's left is really some finishing touches.

So, instead of running around trying to get things done, we can spend two delightful weeks picking out and hanging pictures, shopping for antiques, eating and generally loafing about. I view this as fantastic news, as it will give us an opportunity to really enjoy our new house, and besides, I really need the break!

I will try provide updates and photos during the next two weeks, but the mobile broadband signal is sometimes a bit dodgy, so wish me luck.
