We were really pleased with how the colour of the bricks is coming up. Here’s the happy couple still coming to grips with the amazing new home. Now we’re working towards the home job of packing and cleaning. We still seem to be on track to move in the week before Christmas. On the Picasaweb of the home you can see the kids in each of their bedrooms. We thoughts we...
