This accounting of our humble smallholding in the hills has felt trivial. And it is. But our lives here continue, and friends have been asking, and so herewith is the next installment.
DH has built and installed this lovely set of kitchen cabinets and a countertop to top them with. We like wooden countertops, and I am thrilled with his work, and with the overall look of the house. Later, there will also be a wooden backsplash.
