  • Large Armchair redone
    These are photos of some of the work done at The English Armchair Abroad, showing the piece when it was delivered to me in all its glory and then after I've done the work. I think you will agree that even the most hopeless looking chair has surprising possibilities! The photos on this page are distorted;  PLEASE CLICK ON THE THUMBNAIL TO ENTER THE GALLERY!

George

A few weeks ago someone telephoned and asked if we could take a macaw - they could no longer look after him.  So George arrived and has settled into the family very happily.  He is totally in love with Max but is very friendly with the rest of us.  

When he gets excited he starts calling and doing a sort of head dance.  Ralph took a video which you will find here (sorry it's a bit dark).

OMG Jean, he's a scream! I shared the video on my FB page and have been laughing about the crazy parrot ever since. He's adorable (I think!) I do hope that his crazy antics don't drive you to distraction though...

All about Me

  • It seems to me that this has to be the most boring part of a blog...who wants to know anyway? On the offchance here's the basics: I've been married to the same person for 26 years and counting...and don't want to change. I have (we have) three handsome boys: 21/19/14 We have lived in a wonderful part of France for the past 14 years Before that we lived on a boat and sailed not around the world but around as much of it as we could for three and a half years. Before that we lived a fairly predictable life in London I started upholstery in 2002 and have been registered to work as an upholsterer since 2007. It's something I love. Since the demise of my husband's toy business we have both had more time on our hands which we have filled with animals: bees, chickens, geese, ducks and a couple of weaners Life is good but we are not living the good life!
