It's no trouble to gather a couple of mugs on your way through the kitchen, and you're there (Who am I kidding? The mugs will be in the dishwasher, and will need to be retrieved and washed in the sink...). As far as snacks for children go, grabbing a piece of cheese out of the fridge is easy enough, wherever you keep it. We already have the dishes in the morning room, and the food in the kitchen - all the new model really proposes is moving the cooker out of the VERY SMALL room, and adding some workspace in a bigger, adjacent room. I've no clear idea of where I should put <a HREF="http://www.thejumps.co.uk/weblog/2005/06/our-fruit-bowl-was-on-telly.htm" rel="nofollow">the fruit bowl</A>, though. I figure, if that's my biggest problem, I'm doing OK. Ah, well, I’ve pretty much decided that the kettle will go in the pantry as well - might as well have it next to the milk, sugar, tea and coffee.
