New windows and door

It was a cold, damp, foggy morning (actually the fog never burned off and stayed all day) in Oxford. At eight-thirty o'clock in the morning the window guys descended on our house. Six windows and a door to be replaced. By nine-thirty Wendy and I took shelter from the cold at the Magic Cafe as they had already knocked out all the old windows and frames and had already placed a few of the frames in. After our tea and coffee we went back home to find the front door missing.

Not wanting to be in the way we went up to Cowley Road to do a bit of shopping then took refuge at a friends house for warmth and more coffee.

We came home to find them bringing in the glass and all the window frames in place. Around this time I had to leave for London and before I reached London Wendy called me on the train to let me know they had finished by twelve-thirty.

We now have double pane windows for the first time! No longer will we need to leave towels on the window sills to collect the very large amounts of water that would pool up every morning. Not to mention the amount of money that will be saved on the heat bill!

In other news Fiona went to Warwick Castle on a school trip and we let her take the digital camera with her.
