Roofing!

we had to stop in today because of the roofing man coming to do the roof on the extension that had been leaking. This had been a problem at the weekend when we had some heavy rain. it was dripping quite badly over the window so obviously couldn't be left. vin is very good at sorting things like that out, and he asked the ladies in the shop if they could recommend anyone. The told him about a local chap who has a roofing company so he came out yesterday, had a look and returned this morning to do the job. It was a hole in the roof apparently, which had been repaired with a bit of Mastic by the last firm we had in 2004 ish!  So he took tiles off, replaced some of the roofing felt and a tile and we hope that has done the job. That cost £140, which we thought wasn't too bad considering the stories that you hear about some firms. He is going to come back to have a look at the main roof too and has cemented some part of it over the bathroom which had also developed a leak when heavy rainfall. You aint ever finished with a house. Always something to do to repair.
So it was a day of stop in for moi, Vin went off to Tesco very quickly after the roofing man had been, and was there and back in no time having got the veggies for the week and some other bits. He said it was very quiet there and was a good time to go. We also have done the bedding today so that will probably be one day later in the week ironing. Oh Joy !
Tonight we are having:
gruyere cheese escalope
Jersey Royal potatoes (first of the season) I love em!!!
Mixed veg, broccoli and carrots
Hollandaise sauce
