FENCE

I almost can't believe it but it is true the fence is all but done!!! And it looks fabulous!!! We started the fence painting at 11am - quietly confident because the rain today site gave us only a 12% chance of rain - which I then completely jinked - sorry guys the wind was all my fault. We had a good crowd going and I thought it'll be great if we get the whole of the inside done this morning - knowing we had the village litter pick this afternoon so we'd only have the morning. We got almost along to the gate and then knocking off time came so we slowly thinned out for lunch but just as we were leaving over the horizon laden down with provisions arrived reinforcements!!!

We went off for lunch calm in the knowledge that progress was being made even while we munch on salad and smoked mussels! Even took the time to punch down (lightly), reshape and bake the pseudo hot-cross-bun loaf - obviously not true hot cross bun because it's not good Friday - but us heathens are allowed to bend the rules. Anyway I digress we arrived back on the green for 2pm start on the litter pick and with so many willing helpers we decided to divide and conquer so we split into litter pick team and painting team and unbelievably by the time we got back from the cemetry detail of the litterpick the fence was gone and everyone had vanished. The lost boys did well!!

I've put some before lunch photos up. Tomorrow I'll go up in the sunshine and take a few pictures from the outside - it really does look great and green was really the way to go colour wise.
