They take some time, but all the work now is visible, so its important they are done neatly, well, to a high standard … so progress is relatively slow, but very real … as you can see the boot room floor is being laid, Len.’s made a beautiful job of boxing in the front of the basin unit in the corridor, with spare roof Shakes, which looks amazing, and lots of people have been working to finish the ramp, which looks great (will be better when the grass has grown)
Not the most dignified position for an 86 year old, but …
these are the insulated covers for the shutter boxes, which have been carefully crafted by Thomas, our wonderful carpenter, tailored by John Sears, insulated by Viv Cane Honeysett and Deborah Worsley and finally fitted by John S. … Perfect job.
