Busy Doing Nothing and Yorkshire Tourism Posters

Well, not exactly nothing!  The World may be on lockdown and its population confined to home but hey, the sun is shining and there are loads of jobs to do in order to change an almost-finished extension into part of our home.  We have been incredibly lucky on several counts with this project.

We liquidated share capital to pay for it at what turned out to be somewhere near the peak of the stock market.

Our main builder went into administration on the day after our building work was completed.  They did a good job and although beyond reach for any snagging work at this stage everything works and looks exceptionally good.

Our electrician was able to finish off the electrics just before the CV happened.

We were able to find a decorator to do the painting at zero notice via local media.

We have been able to find a firm locally that is able to manufacture the rather tricky 55 cladding panels in a whole range of shapes and sizes.

We could have been saddled with a useless, deteriorating and unsightly part-completed project.

Pat's foot operation was done in time for her ongoing but rapid recovery.  Between us we are inundated with our very own Occupational Therapy opportunities right here at home.

Last but not least we live in the middle of one of England's most beautiful small towns with every facility imaginable and a well developed local self-help spirit.  Surrounding us are the Yorkshire Dales and we have them all to ourselves!

These four lovely posters in railway-poster style have appeared online today.

Those first four were on Facebook.  Some for Yorkshire folk only extras have since appeared:
