So, as the power supply for the shop won't be going on until next Tuesday we are a little limited in what we can do at the moment, so the missis said "why don't we give it a fresh lick of paint" (it didn't really need one).

So, I had a little think and thought I have a week or so before we have power so I thought I would theme the shop.

As we are in South Wales and surrounded by beautiful scenery I thought this would be a little apt. I have painted a bit more today (added some bull-rushes to one wall, a long windy path up the top of one of the hills, more trees and some grass just above the skirting board). As the shop will be a two pronged effort (kids clothes and accesories for 2-14 and personalised gifts) I also added/hid things amongst the scenery (like a red and green apple tree) where the kids can hunt to find whilst Mum/Dad is spending their money. They can also take up the challenge to count the sheep and trees and if they get it correct they get a sweet.

My idea is trying to be a little different and creating an 'experience' for people to come into ...............

............. what do you guys think?

Great work! Couldn't find the apple tree though so no sweet for me.
