More on the small lounge

• The french windows and terrace area are new (February 2013) and make this room the lightest in the cottage.
• The orange sofa makes up into a comfortable bed; bedding is in the chest. The stairs can be curtained off to give reasonable, but not complete, privacy.
• The new (November 2010) cupboards under the stairs provide some hanging space.
• There is a tool box in the second of the new cupboards. Use with care.
• CHECK OUT THE NEWSFLASH ABOUT THE COMPUTER &c.
• Power fluctuations sometimes cause the internet to go down; restoring it is usually easy, but please contact one of the Fletchers before attempting this. It is being particularly temperamental at present (February 2013) but efforts are under way to sort this out.
• There are instructions &c. for gadgets and spare light bulbs &c. in the bureau.
• Feel free to use the telephone; there is an honesty box adjacent.
• The inglenook has been replastered and the small wood-burning stove is newly installed (February 2013) but not yet fully commissioned as some adjustment to the chimney is required to make it work properly.
