Today is the first of September, so it's officially spring, and there's plenty of action in Woodbury. We now have an established tree, a Himalayan chestnut, sitting happily in the nor/west corner of the section, thanks to Belinda, who decided we needed an established tree to give us shade and shelter in the summer months. Something to mow around, and a place to have lunch outdoors, were her words. We're very grateful and the tree looks as if it's always been there.
Also, Keith has made an excellent start on building the garage/workshop. With the help of a couple of local builder mates, he's well underway with the basic construction and has been much helped by the beautiful spring weather. Muddy gateway notwithstanding, the weather has been mild and kind and progress is excitingly fast. He wanted to get his hands dirty by doing something practical and grounding, and has managed this in spades by also leaving traces of blood on various bits of timber, shirt fronts, hats and passing dogs and children. So a success all round.
Upstairs, the rooms are painted (stunning, couldn't be happier) and doors throughout the house are also painted, a terrific shade best described as a muddy green - it's strong and very attractive. We also have a front door now, but no handle or key yet, so we're all still traipsing in through the back door.
This week should see the garage-workshop up if not quite running, and we're also expecting kitchen and bathroom joinery to start arriving for installation. Watch this space.
