We had some particularly strong wind over the weekend and our weather station got blown down. Unfortunately, it smashed on the ground and I suspect that the plastic is too brittle to glue back together. We will replace it in the next week or so. Ho hum!
Unfortunately, a big gust of wind blown this off the shed at the weekend. Although we have all the bits, I suspect the best option is to buy a new one. The weatherstation will be out of action for the next few days.
We made some good progress in the sunken garden last week. Or rather Paddy and Jonny made some good progress. It did rain on a couple of the days, but not until late in the afternoon so it didn’t hamper progress too much last week.
This weekend was down to us to get as much work done on the reclaimed wall that separate the lower and upper terraces. By the end of the weekend, we had all but finished this section of wall. We ran out of stone (but there is a lot in the back field), but there is probably only a couple of hours of work left here. All in all, it was a good couple of days of walling. And in some nice weather too!
There is probably still a couple of days work for Paddy and Jonny to do to finish off the flags in the lower terrace. In the meantime, we have continued to work on the reclaimed wall that separates the two. This is built in a similar way to other walls in the garden.
With more of the wall complete, we are now ready to turn the corners on each of the ends. There will be two sets of stone steps here.
The wall is now the same height as the other walls that we built in the garden. We have turned the corner and a set of stone steps will sit on the concrete blockwork. We will need to wait for another 2-3 weeks for the stonework to arrive.
The view from the other end of this section of wall. We have run out of stone (we have lots in the back field, we just need to find it) to finish the rear part of this wall. It will have to wait until next weekend.
