Head for hights



The rather stormy weather this past week made getting the first of my treasured Gothic pots onto the stack a somewhat interesting operation. My neighbouring farmer offered to bucket them up on one of his machines but we eventually used the tried and trusted brute force and ignorance method...a favourite with the chaps and I. The result however is worth it with the pots combining with the ongoing external wood work to set the house off to its best advantage....a real case of onwards and upwards.

With the weather that we are currently experiencing I an sure it won't be long before the pots are put to good use by a log fire.

pots and the lintels looking good.... all we have to do now is to stop you painting windows brilliant white........
it will be a task, but someone's got to do it.

it would be a shame if the very white windows overpower the fine details that you have laboured to get.

try 'great white' instead ?
give it a try on one window before you do the whole house.

The pots look great, but I'm not sure my local friendly H&S man would be too impressed with your scaffolding!
