A bathroom at last!

Having finally moved upstairs into our own family apartment, the only problem was that the bathroom was still downstairs. Still, we've been so happy to have our own space after seven years of living in with all the visitors, teams, mothers and babies and whoever we've had living with us that the lack of a bathroom seemed a very minor problem. Now that the main rush of visitors is over Kenneth has been managing to work on the house in the evenings and he's now working on the bathroom. We went all around Arad looking for a cheap door with windows in it to let the light through because the windows are small upstairs and we don't want to lose any of the light. We found one at the right price at last and then took it round the corner to a wee shop to get the glass put in! Talk about good service ... the guy did it there and then, literally as we watched! That's another of the things we like about Romania - in the UK almost everything is mass produced and there's no room for small craftsmen like this. Sadly, now that Romania is in the EU we'll probably go the same way eventually ... shame!
