FARM SHOPPING

Noticed a small drip o the tap connection should have turned the main supply tap off before messing around with the nuts had a blow back head to rush outside and take the front panel off so I could shut off the main feed no major damage did have a wet floor and cupboard that houses the sink .
Connected the out let pipe that runs from the kitchen all way under the van to the main drain had to but a piece in both ends I also had to buy a 22 degree bend this renovating is harder than work but is a lot more fun and rewarding .
Went over to Helen's parents at Acaster Malbis near York we had tea  with them they seem to have settled in ok it is quite a big site and is situated a few miles from the A64 motorway it is very upmarket and cost 125k with double the ground rent costs .

SATURDAY
Mounted the bedroom tv on the doorway that I blocked up  in our one and only bedroom its high enough not to be in the way  , I also put the last pair of drawer handles on the 800mm kitchen drawer unit base .

Checked under the sink for any drips or leaks all seems well which is a godsend hopefully it is settled and no further issues will arise .

Went to the tip yet again with a boot full of rubbish which  equals a lot  less mess , then we went over to Leeds to call in and see Helen's oldest son Steve .
On the way home we called in to three  different farm shops from the first Haigh's we bought lamb chops and three pork joints chocolate fudge cake a swede and other fresh veg from  the second Thorncliffe baby carrots ,  hash browns ,  garden peas and home made  gravy and a steak pie from the third  Blacker Hall Farm black treacle bacon , pork sausages  , beef mince , chicken breast , apple pie  , potato wedges mushrooms with cream cheese and chives and single cream .

Helen wants to paint the kitchen wall duck egg blue which I have on objection to what I don't like is she wants to get the paint from Laura Ashley in my opinion is overpriced and no better than cheaper paint , need to buy some CT1 sealant not cheap but great stuff might use it to fix t the 900 mm  glass cooker back splash on to the wall after I have bought an extractor cooker hood .
