Two men have spent the whole day here laying the kitchen floor. When we came here twenty years ago it was vinyl tiles overlaid with brown carpet tiles. After living with these for a while we put down burgandy flotex which we were told was miraculous stuff which repelled dirt. Wrong. It repelled all attempts to clean dirt off it.
The new tiles are a ceramic made to look like slate, but without the uneven surface and the necessity of having to seal them. It isn't easy keeping the kitchen floor clean when the kitchen door is the main route of ingress to the house for all comers including my perennially very muddy nephews, but I am hoping these will combine the qualities of not showing the dirt and being easy to to clean.
Here is Albert on the new floor.

Very nice. You'll find, as I expect you remember from the parquet floors of your Cleethorpes home (except you had Mrs Horsefield then) that although easy to clean and possibly camouflaging of mud, hard floors are unforgiving when it comes to fluff and animal hair.
