Stained glass

The parade of plumbers, heating engineers and window fitters have now left the house, for the time being at least, and things are getting back to normal. The highlight of the recent work was getting stained glass panels in the living room windows.


Aren't they fab! I'm really pleased. They were inspired by the work of Leonard Evetts, especially a window in a church in Newcastle, illustrated in a book on his work:


They were designed and made by Bill Hodgson from Abbey Restoration, as part of new timber framed double-glazed sash windows. The old windows were about a hundred years old, and were broken and draughty; the new windows throughout the house should last another hundred, and be a lot warmer and quieter!

Regular readers may want to know that the banner project is going to have to be put on hold for a while. I'm not sure when it'll be back, but when it is, I'll let you know. In the mean time, I'll be working on other projects, so I'll still have plenty to write about.
