...I'm still here!
I wish I had lots of mesmerising tales to tell you of places I've been and people I've seen in my absence, but alas, I've not done anything newsworthy.
Instead boyfriend and I have been holed up, making our house a home. We haven't done too much yet, but have spent lots of money on supplies and tools and fittings. It also turns out I am an interiors bore, and could spend many a happy hour in the DIY store, on design blogs (hello Apartment Therapy!) or even just looking at baths on the internet. I even spent the weekend at my parents house discussing the best way to fix up my kitchen ceiling. I just wonder how this has happened to me - my 19 year old self would be horrified!
Just now we're sitting with bits of wallpaper tacked to our living room wall, trying to decide which wallpaper to go with. It's as exciting as it gets in the Red Boots household at the moment!
And not only content with fixing up the house, boyfriend and I have turned into something from the Good Life - digging up vegetable beds, and planting carrots, peas, beetroot, lettuce, herbs, strawberries, blueberries, and more. Boyfriend has also fulfilled a life long dream of digging out a pond. So yes, now we have a pond, though it's a bit of a muddy puddle at the moment.
So make a mental note - if we invite you round for drinks in the next week or so, politely decline. We'll bore you to tears. In fact, I'm starting to bore myself!
I promise I'll pop some photos up once we stop talking about what we want to do and actually do it, and once the garden starts blooming, rather than looking like a muddy trench!
