Coming together.
Every day, things seem closer to being done at Well House Manor - rooms getting finished, electrical second fit proceeeding quickly now, painted. Bathrooms coming into place. Outside, the work site is turning into a lawn. Deliveries are coming daily at both "48" and "404" and we're on course for being able to accommodate (sleep) people in about 10 days. There does remain a lot to do - a lot for all of us to do.
I unlocked the site about an hour ago, and had a chat with a neighbour walking up to the garage to get his daily paper (it's quite a trade that garage does in papers!); he was commenting on how much we've done, on how good it's looking ... and we got chatting about this and that. We're in quite a community there, and it's quite a community that will be looking out for us too. David
was a little concerned that taking the wall away might have driven the squirrels that used to run along it away too, but I was able to re-assure him that they're still very much around. Give me some time with a camera and, perhaps at some future date, I'll post up some pictures of them.
