Trip to Ikea

<-- there were wires hanging from the ceiling. Now we have a light. Having a lit kitchen is something we really missed! The doors are new, double glazed aluminium. The old doors had a cat flap sized hole with winter air blowing in, and flaky paint. Stove is gas. Stand and bin from Ikea (pronounced ee-kay-ah here)

2 sets of drawers with wooden bench top, holds loads of stuff. Upside down fridge is fantastic. -->


Ikea is about 1 and 1/2 hours drive each way, and now we have a kitchen. By a miracle it all fit into the back of a Megane station wagon, and the 1.8m bench top slid in over the tops of the seats etc. Seeing all the French people loading up their cars with boxes is a real laugh. Boxes spilling out of tailgates, and rooves piled high; some of them couldn't have made it home.



<-- our name is now on the letterbox, and the doorway button. Nice photo by Ollie.
