New kitchen - progress pictures

Hubby has been doing a great job renovating our rather old fashioned kitchen.

We had minor flood which caused some damage, for which we got a tiny amount of insurance money.  A very kind person blessed us with the rest of the money to get a completely new kitchen.

The best bit has to be ripping out the old kitchen!

The hard work begins!

Taking shape!

The cupboards were so hard to fit - we could have done with asking another man to help!

Looking good

Lest we forget

For the Granddad I never met, because his body lies in a field in the Netherlands and has lain there since the 25th November 1944...for Walter Harrison I may never have met you but I will never forget you.

Move him into the sun—
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields half-sown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.

Think how it wakes the seeds—
Woke once the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides
Full-nerved, still warm, too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
—O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth's sleep at all?
