A couple more casualties.

When I went out to feed the birds and get the gate unlocked for the workmen I noticed that one part of the dead tree had come down with the wind. We have kept the dead rowen as it is where I hang a lot of the bird feeders. Actually it now has some new growth!
The trampoline is still in the background, they are collecting it tomorrow.
When I went out after the builders had arrived one of them was standing on the large plastic storage box with an electric cable in his hand! Never a dull moment here! He asked if I had a long ladder to take the cable over the roof. I said there was an electric point in the back garden, but he said the cable wasn’t long enough. I got our long cable out so that solved that one. I did some washing and general chores, checked how the work was going when I took them a drink. Tina wants regular updates.
They are building up that pice of wall before they knock the next piece down.
Deliveries came today, 25kg of peanuts and a very large box of toilet rolls and kitchen towels, so getting them unpacked and stored away and taking the nuts to the greenhouse filled a bit of time!
Took the men a drink before I went to visit Lesley and they said they wouldn’t be doing a lot more today as they had run out of supplies. Would finish off and do some pointing. Had got a bit further though.
 Some pics of wind casualties.


The men had gone when I got back from Lesley’s, they had covered the work they had done.
Have been clearing area around the sewing machine for when I start the quilting. May have to design what I am actually going to do first!

  1. The back garden does look a bit like a whirlwind has gone through it in the first pic!
    Builders always surprise you with the unexpected, it’s a trait they all have 😊 Does look like they’re making a decent job of the rebuilding though, which is a bonus. Hopefully they won’t drag it out too long. At least they’re not going to knock anything else down……for now!
    I hope you’re not stockpiling loo rolls and kitchen rolls. No wonder we have shortages 🚽 The 25kg of peanuts don’t surprise me though!
    You’ll have to pick a time when the wrists are giving you too much bother before you do the quilting. It’s a big old thing to be shifting around!

  2. Haven't tidied up the garden yet as it is still very windy.
    Yes, the wrists at the moment could make doing the quilting difficult.
