Etched glass and a bespoke door ?

There's nothing like the prospect of some beautiful etched glass and a bespoke door to raise the spirits .

I rarely have anything done to my house these days , mainly because so much has been done over the years and really , at the end of it you do reach a certain equilibrium where you begin to grasp that one more tile ( or indeed a hundred more ) , one more towel , and one more bit of this or that really aren't going to increase your happiness the way you imagine . ( ( No , its the aquisition of that rescue greyhound and the box of kit kats in the kitchen that lead to perfect happiness ...... )

However having living for nigh on fifteen years with the hideous bubbled glass in the entrance porch I have finally decided its time to move on and Bryan Curtis came round this morning to give us some advice on etched and stained glass and the like . Bryan Curtis Stained Glass Ltd - Quality & Excellence First. Customer Service . So now we are in line for a bespoke door and probably some etched and plain glass to our design , and I'm trying to remind myself that a few pieces of glass and some wood really arent the answer to all my problems , but right at this minute the prospect of a starburst as I open the outer door every day , the feel and smell of the new solid wood all helps to add to the happy weekend my -sister-is-coming-to-stay feeling .

have a good one yourselves everyone .....

Another seal pup on King Edward Bay


8am this morning , another seal pup . I missed this one , having stayed in bed with my latest headache , Alice's increased confidence meant she danced circled around wagging her tail and this baby growled loudly at her .
Later . we went back to the beach at noon , all gone . the tide had been in and out again , taking the baby with it . Apparently she/he had been trying to head back out to sea anyway .
maybe we are destined to see more of these lovely babies over the next months .
