When we were choosing granite for the kitchen worktops, Karen at County Kitchens in Leyburn suggested that it would be a good idea to go to the factory to choose the exact piece we would like as there were endless colour variations between the types of stone, even cut from the same quarry.
My friend Mel and I set off on an adventure, and using the sat nav probably for the first time, we managed to find the factory on an industrial estate. Wow, what an experience. We learned so much and fell in love with so many granites- some were like works of art. We also chose the one for the kitchen- a greenish one called verde uba tuba!

Grouse chicks are so delightful. They look like little bundles of fluff. On the second photo you can see male and female with chicks on the road by Surrender Bridge.
When we had a trench dug for our electricity supply, our builders accidentally severed the water supply... it was all rather unfortunate. Chaos ensued til we could cut it off, and the builders repaired the damage!

Choosing bathrooms was such fun. We got them from Kellaway Bathrooms in Bristol and drove them up as we got such good service from them and it is such a fiddly job- we had 3 to install - it took quite some time getting it all sorted out and we laid inside many bathtubs to make sure they were comfy!
