Dunno if you remember or not when you came to visit but that's what we had in our big house up in Scotland. Shutters are excellent in the summer when you want to sleep but it's still daylight, and they're also quite handy for helping with hangovers - curing, not creating them! Or, indeed, any time you're ill and need to sleep when it's light outside. Plus the fact that they offer good insulation too, which is dead handy in a drafty, old house. ;)<br /><br />HTH :)Ecclesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566978443523529414.post-60011903227026412332015-12-09T15:46:27.460+00:002015-12-09T15:46:27.460+00:00Thanks Olaf!

It won't be done before Christmas, but it should look awesome. We'll get more pics up when it's in and the log burner is fitted.<br />Thanks for popping in.Muzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471060279727303230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566978443523529414.post-34717226314663990752015-12-09T09:50:27.227+00:002015-12-09T09:50:27.227+00:00Oh wow.
