A month to go ... and there's still a lot of work to be done at Well House Manor. And yet so much progress happens and suddenly things are starting to fall into place. Today and Friday, I'll be on "Office days" catching up on the mountains of paperwork and calls, and helping make sure that nothing falls between any cracks - indeed, this morning's blog, as is becoming standard, is written from
Well House Manor.
A word (truthfully - many words!) needs to be said about all the back room work that Lisa's being dong on this project - it couldn't have been done without her, and she's working like a Trojan on everything from the layout of the buffet table in "The Whitworth" through to sourcing an arranging the installation of the door card system, via all the individual room layouts and getting the booking system together. Lisa - THANK YOU.
There's a certain beauty even in construction work at times. The pictures above and below, though showing just how much work remains, also have a certain beauty. From a tired old house, we're getting tantalisingly close to a crisp, modern
hotel. I hope some of you will come and see us when we're done.
