The high life

There are definitely advantages to living the simple life. For one, we have a fantastic excuse for having our laundry done by the professionals. There's something wonderfully decadent about dropping off your bags of dirty laundry, only to collect it the following day all neatly washed, dried and folded. This is going to be a very difficult habit to break!

Mam & Dad popped around for their bank holiday visit and were clearly distressed by the general state of the house. Perhaps with age comes the inability to see beyond the obvious? More likely however, they like us, are sensitive to the fact that winter is now around the corner and life won't be nearly as pleasant or as simple as it is right now.

On the up side however, the new bath is installed and its heavenly!! Not least because we haven't had our own ablutions for more than 3 months, but also because it is HUGE. Stretched out I reach both ends and the bulging bit at the end (that the shower fits over) means that there is simply oodles of toe wiggling room. Even my larger than life friends will find it comforting :-)

Its all rather tedious material for a blog but as its the beginning of this pigs new journey into the life of a small Welsh village, I figure it'll be the beginning of something beautiful. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for more amusing anecdotes.
