Busy Bees

This weekend, Mark's producing partner, Steve, and his family drove down from Yorkshire to stay with us.  Mark and Steve had the opportunity to master their new album at Abbey Road Studios so we had a very exciting Saturday morning!  We saw some of the equipment that the Beatles recorded on, just sitting in the corridors and the guys got to see rooms and original instruments used for their most iconic songs.  That night, we listened to the product of Rae & Christian's 4 year journey while taking in the London skyline from our balcony.  Couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

The bathroom is almost done, check out the progress below...  Sunday was dedicated to painting.  Some plants and colourful artwork are soon to come.

Another Day, Another Project

We've finally started work on our loft bathroom!  Dave the Builder is back in full force and is working his magic.  We had left over teak parquet bricks from the loft bedroom that we've decided to use for the flooring.  Teak is an oily wood that is good in wet areas and, if sealed properly, is impervious to water so we thought it best to recycle and save a bit of cash (plus, it's just so beautiful when sanded!).

Here's our progress so far...
