Serafina buys a house in times of Covid

Moved rubble into back garden store, took some rubble to Waterswallows tip and put stone up on Peak Dale Facebook site.

Set off from Whaley later than expected. Kevin took out the middle part of the fireplace and Joan didca Dialogue training session and had several CLP phone calls. Dinner of gnocchi with lentils and aubergine salsa.

Joan made the Bosh lasagna she had meant for last night and also caught up on the blog. Kevin did more demolition. Has a Valentine's Dinner delivered from The Herb Garden in Buxton.

Serafina is a little under the weather.  She keeps sneezing. Kevin took out the TV stand in the corner and the wall in the opposite side of the chimney breast Joan set up broadband which was delivered today and then did a Contact Creator seminar. Early dinner becaude Bosh! recipe too complex. Found this old match box from the former pub down the road.

Today we said good bye to this fireplace, or at least started saying good bye.  It's the fourth time we have ripped out a fireplace like this.  At one time in the late 60s and early 70s, they were de rigueur.   I think my brother John built one similar in his house in Holland Street, Blackburn.  He also built a bar in the corner of the middle room. Whilst we were removing it we found this match box from the pub which used to be at the bottom of the hill. The router for the broadband was delivered today so Joan got that all set up. Later she did a Contact Creator Zoom call.
