Not a lot happening!

Water in the fields, snow on the hills and sun in the sky. But it is not always like this - some times it just rains. For days. 

So computer work and the odd trip out taking photos. 

More derelict buildings....

Interesting engines in old sheds....

And unexpected owls.....

Quad bike videos....

Here are four videos filmed from the back of the quad.

Catch up.

Not difficult to catch up as I haven't been running very fast! In fact there has been a lot of sitting indoors. 

Some highlights of the week.

Setting up the new iMac. 

And making it talk to the Windows PC. 

Several trips out to photograph ruins and farms...

Including a spectacular ride on the back of a quad bike up onto the Mallaen to photograph some.

And a lovely mill with the remnants of the wheel.

And a perfect Welsh Cottage 

But no work in the garden!

Busy indoors.

Today I was setting up the new iMac to access the old Windows PC. 

It works!

Catch up.

Yesterday was meant to be a day playing with this....

.But after a few hours watching this....

.... I decided to go back outside. 

Edging for gravel and paving. 

Today was a visitor day with Kay, Dennis and Gail coming for lunch. 

More progress....

Rear gable end

Front gable end.

There are two circular windows in this gable to allow more light inside - they will be glazed with Perspex. 

Start of work on the porch. 

Progress on the summerhouse.

Other side of roof done. 

Window frame made. 

Window frame painted and door cut down to size. 

Palets stripped down for wood for the gable ends. 

An IT day.

Most of the day was spent under the desk!

New iMac desktop on order!

Progress on the summerhouse.

First a lining to catch any drips.....

Then reusing the corrugated iron......

And here are the sheep ...

More work.....

The summerhouse continues to progress. More roof structure in place now. 

And I have been asked to point out that Liz has put six sheep on the field. I will take photos tommorrow. 

Progress on the summerhouse.

Window cut. 

Wall plates in place. 

Ridge in place. 

First rafter cut. 

At last! A day of work!

Today was the first time for quite a while that I have been able to get out a do a full day's work. The ground is still sodden so I have started the next project. 

There are three tasks down in the pig field:

Fill up the flowerbed and plant it

Take the big branches off the tree house tree so that we get lots of small branches that can be woven into a roof

And turn the pig sty into a summer house!

So the pig sty....

Looks like this

Might end up a bit like this....

Progress today..

And the timber cleaned up for reuse in the roof. 

Well, one of us is working!

Big event in the village.

As you will see from the item below today has been an exciting day - well, for us it was exciting!

A little light gardening.

More clearing and pruning. But seeing signs of life in the flowerbeds. 

And lupins still trying to flower.
