Rear Window fitted

A very windy weekend...but thankfully the spring has brought less chilly weather. Its still cold at night, but at least the days are bearable.

Last weekend I fitted the new Slate window-sill, and so this weekend was finally able to set-in the new window....looks great, all we could have wished for. The huge hole that remained around it needed filling, which took a while, and I had to revert to expandy-foam around some areas....apologies to all renovation purists...but it works a treat !!

As you can see the reveal is a mess(unlike the beatiful reveals on the front windows), which makes us think it wasnt originally a window hole. So much so that we've decided not to try and repair it, but to hide it behind some panelling.....which I will be startng next week.

Meanwhile Jan completed the second course of fine-lime in the lower hallway ..looks lovely. First limewash next week hopefully :)

 This time of year our attention is drawn outside to the orchard and Garden. not quite time for the first (of many) grass cutting marathons, but warm(despite the howling gale) enough to start work on the fornt garden. Jan cut down the ever growing front hedge, while I leveled out the front area, digging out the resident weeds, trees, wild roses, and resident brambles. It makes the front of the house far more open, and a place to start a proper garden planting area.

Oh ...not before we have another bonfire of the debris collected....always love a bonfire :)
