The sun made a feeble but welcome effort to show its unfamiliar face today in what will probably be its final showing for this year. In its honour a unanimous decision was taken by the chaps to work outside so it was down tools and outside we went. The coach house shown has been suffering the ravages caused by a monstrous clematis whilst being defaced by a seventies excrescence that I have been eyeing with distaste every day since we arrived. So loppers and chisels in hand we set to rescuing the long suffering building and after a day of quite difficult work (lots of very heavy glass panes) the coach house is well on its way to a happier future.
