Meanwhile.....

awaiting for that marble counter top to arrive,

the new bay window in the kitchen area is finally opened up.

The scaffolds came down the other day and cleared the view,

a first coat of paint will do for now!

Today's view is pretty covered in fresh white snow

and the 90 year old laburnum tree in front is standing strong.

Tomorrow's buffet for the annual Christmas party

 with family and friends is being prepared.

Hubby,

 the pilot chef is in charge of pots and pans,

 enjoying his time off!

I better lay that table......❤
