Easter weekend..very productive!

Easter weekend here..
A beautiful and sunny weekend (how unusual is that), although the rain eventual came....
Made great progress, Jan in the Orchard, clearing all the paths and loads of the brambles.
I achieved what i wanted to (more or less) in the hall and landing...it looks amazing.


Planned jobs to do:

1. Finish cladding and architrave/skirting on the landing.
2. Clad the ceiling in the hallway with bisquit-board
3. 2nd lime-render coat in hallway
4. 2nd lime-render on landing
5. First (major) cut of the orchard, and usual bramble clearing

Sounds simple eh!

FRIDAY

Arrived lunchtime and carried on with #1. #2 and Jan with #5
In the evening, a bonfire of the Spring cut-back of Budlea, and assorted bramble.
A warm evening + BBQ

SATURDAY
Full day of hard work in the orchard, managed to complete #3, jan cracked on with #5, tough work.
This time of year, the first clear of the orchard is the most important....hard work, but Jan cracked on all day.

Small BBQ of the cut bramble and assorted wood waste, then a dinner over the stove
