That's Peter on the right
We also met our chippie, the unusually monikered Pelham. I'm interested in unusual/old names from my family history studies and this isn't one I'd come across before. According to a quick search on t'internet Pelham is an old English name which may mean tannery town which is slightly less glamorous.
I also found that Pelham is the first name of P.G. Wodehouse and that according to the wonderful, if grammatically incorrect site, YourNotMe there are only 62 people called Pelham in the UK.
No pics of Pelham but here's a slightly blurry pic of his great work on the 5th Bedroom roof
And here's the 5th bedroom
View from the 5th bedroom doorway looking forwards.
High level window window in our bedroom which we're hoping to turn into an opening window, albeit with occluded glass, otherwise we have a ventilation problem in the master bedroom as the french windows aren't tall enough to include a top opening window without looking odd.
And here's the french window opening
I also made myself somewhat unpopular with Graham, our master brickie as we decided the main bathroom window (that he'd already built) wasn't big enough - eek! For some reason our architect John had drawn the window pretty small on the plans and it was only seeing it in real life that we realised it would be better if it was bigger. It should only cost us a replacement lintel to change though.
