Long time no (blog) speak!

Well, there’s been a lot of 12-15 hour days of late, making a big push to get the house ready for opening - realistically it’ll be end of April/beginning of May before we’re ready to welcome guests - but at last the fruits of our labour are beginning to show.  The house is looking magic!
There’s still a […]

anyone for a shower…or a bath…or a bath and shower!

It took a while but the bathroom suites are in at last!
Now that I’ve climbed to 7th Dan Ikea, erecting the shower enclosure was only just infuriating. I only walked away from it swearing and cursing a couple of times: “who thinks up these flippin designs…fiddly…bl&&dy…pieces that make up one of these shower cabinets?”
And […]

who’s a lucky boy then…me!

Aneela’s going to be testing two new curry recipes for innerhaven…and guess who’s the guinea pig!
Her curries are well known - she is an absolutely fantastic cook - and if folk’re round for dinner, and Aneela’s decided to cook a casserole or an Italian dish, you can almost here the sighs of disappointment that a curry’s […]

outdoor show 2 - an update

Well, Aneela’s been too busy helping me with the vast re-decorating job at innerhaven so it seems that we’ll not be able to cook up some of her amazing tablet and flapjacks to give away at the outooor show afterall…
But instead we’ve organised something just as sweet (maybe not quite as tasty though) - and […]

a timely reminder

It’s all too easy to get bogged down in the renovation work, and end up losing site of why we love it so much down here.
We took a well earned break from the DIY work at innerhaven and set out on a wee walk to clear the plaster dust and paint fumes from our lungs!

We’re […]

it’s taking shape - bathroom’s going in!

It seems a very long time ago since I did all the ripping out work, and it’s a real boost to at last see the bathroom suites going in.

 

virtual mountain biker

With all the renovation work taking over our lives these days, I’ve not even looked at my bike for weeks!  I don’t think vigorous wallpapering and painting counts as real exercise, but it’s about as close as I’ll get to a cardiovascular workout until the house is ready to let out.
The only thing that keeps […]

outdoor show

Richard from Glentrail House and Iain from MB7 will be busy drumming up interest in the 7Stanes and the Tweed Valley at next weeks Outdoor Show, and although we’re still cracking on with the renovation, we’ve been asked to supply them with some tasty innerhaven treats to keep them, and visitors to the show going! 
Aneela is a superb […]
