A Work in Progress…
Renovating a grade 2 listed building - It really is a ‘Work in Progress’ … This year, putting the pandemic aside - Just the weather has been a challenge! Not to mention the lead in periods from getting planning permission to put up scaffolding, or even the ‘interested neighbours’ who all want to have their say about how this prominent building should be dealt with … Our painter was even stopped whilst ‘mid’ painting with brush in one hand & paint tin in the other, ‘What are you doing?’! - However once the hubbub of the initial work was accepted by the neighbours, they have all been so kind and supportive of the finished product, so in essence you just have to push on through, which is exactly what we always do - This is a private property, so as such I respect the privacy in not publishing the finished pictures at this point. But we are enormously proud of the finished work & I can confirm that all ‘interested parties’ are now happy …. So that means it is a success !! Just thought I would keep you briefed!

Newcastle - a short story about my visit to this wonderful city both when I was a child & my visit last week looking at the beautiful architecture, the food and the culture - just wonderful I can wait to go back! And my memories of Great Aunt Grace..
The thing about Christmas is really nothing is too much, nothing that is not permitted, the only thing we would say here at NPMEStyle is either really go for it or take the ‘less is more’ approach … So what am I saying? Hey - GO FOR IT !! And have FUN!
