I'm sitting amongst a mess of stones, old birds' nests, and rubble. Hovering above me is a wide cloud of dust. A cyclone of bluestone and sandstone lay around our feet. As my fingers tap the keyboard, they find all the dust - as fine as chalk - settling around me, and I'm breathing in a smell of something that was cooked in the fireplace circa 1856.
But wait... I can hear the ocean.
The renovation of our beach cottage has commenced.
Wow! You may find that your meals have an extra gritty 'crunch' in them during the reno process!
ReplyDeleteOh Kath, you could be right!! I can't get rid of the chalky feel. It's all around me!!
Deleteawesome awesome awesome! I just love places that ooze history...hey your cottage and my holiday house would have been built around the same era! Spooky! Let the holiday/cottage house Shenanigans begin! xx
ReplyDeleteSnap! Our lives are very similar (cue suspicious music). We discovered our front fence is bluestone under the ugly cement. What a find! We are pretty excited right now, not to mention tired!!
DeleteSo exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteYes renovating is very exciting! I'm sure we won't feel that way in four months time!!
DeleteWhen will the reno be done?
ReplyDeleteWell, the plan is to have it done in four months, but I suspect we might need longer than that! Most of the year maybe? Thanks for stopping in. x
