This is the next plan for Foxglove, curtains. Roy is starting to worry me as I have never seen him so eager to go shopping for something like curtains. The reason behind this is because he wants to get the boatman’s cabin finished. He wants the cabin to look very traditional and he has already bought his brass bed knobs, ribbon plates, brass plaques etc etc. This will keep him very busy over the Christmas period. Four more days to go before I finish work for the year. I think this is the first time in a long while I have started to get excited about Christmas. It is going to be nice having some quality time together and spending it on Foxglove.
