On the home straight

It was a pretty early start this morning; I had been asked by the contractors if I could leave my van beside the Church in order to save a space for the Scaffold lorry which was due in first thing. So my Friday morning was spent ensuring that we were able to offload yet more scaffolding.

Yesterday (Thursday) the Church boiler had been fired up and everything seemed to be working fine., except the men said that it might be too warm for them working up in the roof space----some people are never happy!

However, all I can say is 'Thank-you' because the carved Oak pelmet which has been removed temporarily from the front of the Church has been cleaned up and has been placed safely under cover within the Church. It really is a beautiful piece of wood with a craftsmanship which is not really seen nowadays.

As for all that extra scaffold? ------ Well an extra squad of scaffolders are due to arrive on Monday to start erecting scaffold around the Fleche. So all of the neighbours will be able to see for themselves that the repairs are moving apace.

Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
