Dusty Harps and a New Kitchen

Finally after several months of hard work and good old honest graft my kitchen is nearing completion.
In January following the heavy rains first one crack appeared in the floor then another and then one morning we got up to find part of the kitchen floor had dropped so Dave decided to investigate and before long pretty much all of the floor was up!!
So we decided on a kitchen revamp or rather rebuild ,this included replacing the Rayburn Oven which was 60 years old with something a bit more economical that burns wood and does great chips !!
The trouble of course with doing any DIY or work is the amount of dust an harps do not like dust but they certainly act like magnets for dust and are a nightmare to clean once they get covered and with great gusto I have begun the task of giving them a jolly good old fashioned clean using plenty of elbow grease, several feathers and dusters to get in between all the strings.

Thankfully it will probably be another 50 years before the kitchen needs such a major revamp again and who knows the harps may well still be around then but hopefully it won't be me doing the cleaning of all 37 of them!!!

Bookings continue to come in and a lovely lady from the local newspaper has asked if she can come up  to do an article on me I will keep you posted on that one ..

Pop back soon
