Sorry Martin, I'm afraid Jane's time is taken. I need her to do some more painting as I've noticed the window frames and doors need a coat of Sadolin before the summer is over. Jane claims she did it sometime in the last couple of years but I think it was several years ago. Since then we've had a "professional" painter doing the house but I think he showed the wood a brush but not much more.
We've decided we need to get the house and garden tidy in readiness for a move sometime in 2012 because if we stay here much longer we'll never move.
