What a difference a few weeks makes…

… despite the heavy rain and snow!

We visited the house again last weekend and were pleased with the progress despite many days lost to rain:

While there we also decided to remove more of the plaster behind the woodburner! We were wondering what we would find but were delighted with the exposed stonework. Now all we need to do is clear out a lot of the old mortar and repoint it!

Slowly we seeem to be making progress, another 8 or 9 years should see it finished!

We also managed to also visit the local dump (only open for 2 hours on a Wednesday and Saturday mornings) three times on Saturdayand start to get rid of some of the accumulated rubbish and furniture we don't want.

A couple of new bedside tables also helped lift our spirits as well as finding a good restaurant in a nearby village.

Progress is being made.
