Journal:
This morning I was thinking of the the new bureau mentioned in yesterdays' post. When we lived in the UK, so long ago now, I built a bureau not long after we married. It was a kit set and the sections were all solid oak.

 I also built a 2 seater green settee and 2 armchairs. These too, were a kit set. When we came to NZ I dismantled them  and brought them in the packing case which came by sea freight.

I remember the green 2 seater settee. Funny i was just thinking the other day about how far i could remember back as a child and i remembered when i was probably about 4 and we lived in the house over huntly west on harris st. I lay down on the green settee and thought "i'll pretend i'm asleep when mum comes in" and then i really fell aslleep and woke ages later. Mum had probably found me asleep and left me to sleep on ....dont know why i remembered that really...haha
