Dining room

I looked out of the bathroom window this morning, and saw the RMS anchored in the harbor! Yippee!! In 2 or 3 days time, the goodies from SA will be cleared by customs and unpacked on the shelves.

I managed to sort out most of the boxes and things that were still in the dining room, so that it looks quite livable now.

Children’s corner. Chairs made by my father for my children at their births 33, 32 and 23 years ago.
A general view of the centre of the room.


Chairs under the windows.


As you can see, it is a LARGE room.

Graeme held a lay preachers/ strategising meeting. Good, useful discussion. Graeme and I are realizing that it is going to take time for us to get to know the islanders and their approach to life.

  2. How nice to see the three chairs your Pa made for Brenda, John and Arthur finding a home in St Helena and being used by the children there. Also the Beckett family clock looks good hanging on the wall. what a lovely place Hazel - Recognising so many things there, including the pictures, makes me feel like I could just walk in for a visit and feel right at home :-)
