The weather, once again had a delaying effect on the planned works this week. However the scaffold is now down from around the Fleche and the slaters are busy fixing slates. The Boiler Room has had the essential fire-retardant repairs carried out that particular job is close to completion. The next (and final) part of the works will be the repairs to the High Parapet Gutters. So the beginning of March is looking like our 'completion date'.
Just to prove how fickle the weather is I'm inserting a photo of the Fleche when it was partly revealed last Saturday when the Blue Skies and Golden Stones showed just how dramatic the Building we have.
As I was standing in Observatory Road looking up at the building, before I'd got my camera out, another shopper walking by, made the remark of just how wonderful the building when the sun shines on it.
It is indeed said I.
Sometimes it takes a Stranger to jolt us away from the nitty gritty of all the toil and strife .
It was indeed wonderful, just to stand there and admire.
And thanks be, I wasn't the only one.
