Lovely day again here in Shetland.
Jill spent the morning cleaning out the small barn. There was an area about a foot thick of old animal manure. Well, that started a new bonfire pile! One of today's finds, buried in straw, was a lethal looking machete.
Mid morning Jill went down to the beach to do her redd- up rubbish collection. It didn't take long to fill them up , but it's a lot easier in Norfolk, it was all up hill on the way back and the bags arrived back with more holes than a teabag. Two bags will hopefully get collected tomorrow.
First line of washing went out today. It had a great view.
The builders arrived and replaced the window light in the barn roof and Connor helped Jill to get the heavy manger down and some other large bits out. Starting to look good in there.
Whilst he was clambering about fishing out wood rammed down the back of the wall, he found a full black bag. Oh dear!
Very early 80's titles!
No sign of the scaffolding.
The bonfire got pretty big so instead of going for an evening wander we set light to it. Then we went in and had a relaxed tea with our first rhubarb crumble.
As additions. The item we photographed and asked for guesses as to what it is:
Apparently, we asked the museum, its a pit saw. It's very heavy. We are now trying to find a good home for it.
