Digging a ditch

 Woke up to horrid weather and rain. By breakfast it had improved and by 9 30am it was glorious.

Jill and Rob started off sanding the railing. ( we know, still not finished!) The pictures also shows work in progress as Bruce and Jim have been working on the woodwork in the porch.



Mid morning , Jill went outside as it was nice, to start digging the line of where the drainage pipe goes so we can get ready to join the new waste pipe. Also, we needed to work out how it will affect BT and electrics coming in. The digging is flipping hard as it is covered in old slates, stone, concrete lumps, old jumpers etc etc.


Added problem of the chickens joining in and kicking the soil back in, looking for worms.

Jim also did a bit more pointing,


While Bruce put ply down ready for carpeting in the big bedroom.


We need a peerie bit more sand so we left to get it after Robs foot check appointment.

It was a really lovely  evening with an amazing number of waders and gulls around.
