Typical Bank Holiday Weekend

Rain, grey skies and Eurovision. This weekends project was to decorate the living room. It has now become a major construction project. Shelves, a desk, new door surround, repainting and a new floor.

While looking at flooring I noticed that there is now a lot of bamboo options available. Half the price of oak and fast growing (so probably more sustainable). I think this is what we are going with.

Our holiday this year is sailing in the Ionian of the North Corfu around the faraway islands. The original plan was to travel there by train. Both for the adventure and to reduce our carbon footprint. Train through Albania and Greece proved too difficult to pre-book so we decided to take a ferry from Venice to Greece. Train tickets from Paris to Venice only become available 90 days before travel. When we attempted to book (89 days before travel) the return journey the tickets were sold out so now we are going by train and ferry and returning by ferry, air and train.
