Decisions have in my view slowed down over the past couple of weeks possibly due to Garry going on holiday and Dave and the team concentrating on the stone work. Still things have progressed
1) The brick work looks higher and the stone work is chasing it up quickly.
2) David Brayborn sent us his report about the trees on the eastern boundary and in short we're going to leave them be for at least this winter and the next.
3) The oak beam which will be set above the cooker was researched and ordered by Flora. I had the task of picking it up from Glastonbury reclamation. Luckily it just fit into the estate with probably less than 20 cm. It looks great to finally see something in place that we know we're be looking at for many years to come. All the internal block work will all be covered up and even the plaster gets paint over and eventually chipped and scratched. This old oak beam already had history from another house and it was really lovely to know that we're reusing something again for a purpose. Full credit to Flora I know she has considerably more patience and drive in these areas of detail.
4) We went to Devon to stay with Flora's Mum for a week which was great!
