An update on Poon's at Somerset House

It's been all hands on deck at Somerset House (hence the radio silence) and par for course, we have uncovered issues we wouldn't have known about before pulling up floors and excavating basements. This will likely cause delay and definitely make a deeper hole in our pockets. I keep telling everyone I'm down to one kidney and have no more organs to sell... We are extremely fortunate to have some brilliant people working with us.  If any of you ever embark on a building project,  may I recommend you get yourselves a Colin, Andy and Don and their band of merry men. If it weren't for Andy's complete and utter unflappability (is that a word?), I might have flapped my way to Timbuktu by now... contact info available for a small fee. I need to pay for extract ducts somehow...

The site has been thoroughly stripped. Walls and bookcases have been erected. Curtains are being sewn, lights are being installed, altro is being laid down, steel girders drilled into Grade II listed walls (with permission of course) and on Thursday, we took road side delivery of 950kg of a ventilation unit, that's about the weight of a mini JCB digger.

With edible love, as always, Amy
