Michael helped Bruce today to get things started and put some insulation in upstairs. Each bit is a step in the right direction.

Jill moved yet more peat and waterproofed some of the outside pointing which should help it last longer.
Just after lunch, news broke of a Siberian Rubythroat at Quendale. We both need it as we haven't seen one so we set of as quickly as we could to get there.
