 What number of kitchens have I cooked in? I counted and made 13, which is greater than the variety of homes I’ve lived in and greater than the variety of gardens I’ve grown in!

How can that be?

I’ve counted the caravan we lived in for a yr  within the early 80’s whereas renovating the very outdated cottage, then two kitchens on the smallholding – the unique from 1992 till 2011 and the brand new one after we did the massive extension  plus the stripped out small caravan I used as a kitchen all summer season 2011 whereas the extension was being constructed.

I’ve had two massive kitchens however the remaining have all been a lot smaller and virtually each home we owned had a kitchen that wanted changing or modernising whereas we had been dwelling in it and I’ve had all kinds of colors and ending touches – from orange within the late 70’s, purple within the mid 80’s and again to purple in 2011

Under is my kitchen right here, and I’ve not accomplished something to vary it……..but! not very huge, however very straightforward to work in, with cabinets in each accessible area. The cabinet doorways are shiny gray and the work-tops are wooden –  neither of which I’d selected. I at all times wished a Butler sink however Colin at all times did the washing up and he did not need one – too deep he mentioned, and now I’ve one I can fairly see why – it is a ache, particularly as there isn’t any correct draining board – which continues to be wanted I believe even with a dishwasher.

 I prefer to have the whole lot simply accessible to make use of so the bread-maker and food-mixer are stood out and I just like the storage drawers on the precise.
To take the photograph I am standing proper towards the again wall of the kitchen. The double oven cooker is simply on the precise of the photograph and to the precise of the oven is a pull out slender larder cabinet and the fridge/freezer.

The door to the corridor is on the left of the place I am standing. The highest shelf of the cabinets are method out of my attain, so I’ve folding steps stood behind the door able to seize.

The kitchen window seems out to the entrance and I haven’t got to be stood there for lengthy to see somebody strolling by with their canine – or canines – one girl has 3 small poodles dressed up with matching coats in winter and neckerchiefs in summer season. Many individuals are glued to their telephones in addition to strolling the canine and nobody seems comfortable.

Thanks to everybody who’s mentioned they’re having fun with the A-Z, I’ll get caught subsequent week……..want one thing for N, higher get my considering cap on over the weekend. 

Though  not everyone seems to be liking the November posts as follower numbers are happening quite than up!

Hope you all have a very good weekend, I will be again Monday.
