Buck the trend!

So the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations have drawn to a close and what a great extended weekend it was for the country. Ella actually had a ticket for the concert outside Buckingham Palace and enjoyed the whole event very much. Being only 19…… Enid wouldn't let her loose in London on her own for the weekend and felt it was her motherly duty to accompany our youngest daughter on a weekend trip to London whilst I was left at home to keep on trying to finish building a house!

I hope the new feel-good factor will now knock on to house sales as I have been complaining for weeks about the bad news scaring buyers away, perhaps some good news on the telly will encourage buyers to buy. We have Euro 2012 and the Olympics still to come this summer and whilst major sporting events sometimes keep the buyers at home they can only help to keep stories of economic doom out of the news and perhaps this year the trend will be reversed. We will have to wait and see what happens.

May seems a long time ago now but I haven't written anything since the month ended and whilst it was tough earlier in the month everyone worked very hard and with some real determination to make things happen we actually ended up with a very decent result. Now it's June and we have to do it all again.
