Hi all, sorry for being away from blogland for so long. I have been halfway up the mountain where Internet coverage is patchy. It is mid term break for me and I spent the week up to me eyelids in concrete! I laid some more of the natural slate floor in the kitchen. I'm nearly finished!
Below shows how far we got. The ones on the right are clean and the ones in the middle are covered in concrete dust so they look different but aren't.
Here is the "After" picture of me (after a hard day's work and a glass of Vino Calapso!)
This is what it WILL look like when it is finished. Traditional rustic natural slate floor. (thanks to Aghadreena Cottage for the photo)
And, yes, Paul did work too...And Holly supervised as usual!
Here's an award I created for all my favorite blogs:

Thank goodness you are back..I've missed you! How's the 'romance department' for your son?
I think your cottage is wonderful and I'm sure you are enjoying fixing it up. I'm watching for more pictures. Take care.

Oh, the floor is beautiful! But I know what you mean about hard work...we've been working on the doors from the hall (5 of them) and because we're doing it INSIDE- the rest of the house is a mess! But Braxton & Lulu "supervise" as well...
Have a lovely week!

Wow Pam! I love the floor! I can't believe
all the changes that have occurred since I was
there! I think what you have done to the
cottage is amazing. I was looking at your
pre-photos of the cottage and the transformation
is just incredible.
I wish you all many happy days in your cottage!
