Wallpapering

So Grampa came with us this trip, and he was given the job of wallpapering a wall in the dining room.

The dining room faces south and east; beautiful views, but the room is really quite drab and uninspiring.  Jim and I spent almost 3 months deciding on wallpaper for it - loads of samples (which the kids thought were great for drawing on), we eventually found the desired print in Laura Ashley - not somewhere we usually go. 

So the day before our friends arrived Grampa set to work.  12 hours after starting, at 11pm he finally finished (and yes he did have breaks, we did feed and water him and I even did the washing up instead of him!)


We're quite chuffed with the result!
