Just as the speed limit is actually merely that, not a target that you should strive to reach but a maximum that you could stretch to, the same goes with deadlines. It seems that every deadline that I am set I simply have to work right up to the wire. Deep inside my body clock takes over and the job some how stretches out to use every minute of the time available. Much to Claire's frustration this was how the Annex refurbishment turned out as we expected our paying guests to arrive any time after 1pm on Monday and after some 3 months of fairly full on work we finally finished the last job, cleared the room of all the tools and clutter and completed the vacuum cleaning with just 5 minutes to spare!
The guests arrived several hours later and were really happy with the place.
We'll be opening the place up as a holiday cottage from January and using it as additional space for B&B guests and for those who want to have 'quilters' retreats or family gatherings here. So please continue to tell all your friends, relations and anyone else you know of the delights of Norfolk and The Old Bakery.
We're delighted to have achieved "phase 2" of The Old Bakery restoration within a year of moving in and we couldn't have done it without you.
SO, to all of those that lent a hand with this mini 'Grand Design' thank you, as the tightness to the deadline demonstrates just how important (and totally invaluable) you all were in enabling us to complete the project.
Straight to the before and after photos now, there are a lot but you have the power to 'skip' so you can't complain.
Here we go..... (just in time for the deadline - we're still on BST you know!)
