Hallelujah! About three months ago the large volet in the lounge broke, in the shut position. A very non-repairable break. It has been a long, long three months, whilst we tried to claim on the insurance (the bastards) and then waited whilst it arrived from Switzerland. This brute is 4.5 metres long by 2 metres high and obviously represents a major source of light into the room. It's amazing how used to the light you get and, whilst the weather has been pretty miserable for the last couple of months, the room has been very, very dark and dingy. So much so that when Eric (the blind volet man) took down the old volet this morning, and light streamed in, it was if a weight had been taken off our shoulders. The smile that broke out on Jan's face was a joy to see. Job done.
