Colour-match


At last we have arrived at a colour for the shutters and external wooden doors! Needless to say, it isn't a standard colour. They are going to have to have two coats of a mixture of 6 parts 'Medium Oak' to one part 'Rustic Oak', followed by a final coat of just 'Rustic Oak'. This gives a result that has been decreed by 'the powers that be' to be acceptable. So, no sooner said than done, and I hung the door in the barn. A little bit of shaving off of the side, a little bit of touching up of paint, a door handle, and the result looks OK, even if I say so myself. I knew that 'O'level in Woodwork would come in handy some day!



Meanwhile, Sue spent another day toiling in the Veg patch in temperatures up to 36 degrees, but her efforets have made the whole thing look respectable again.
Spinach tart for tea, with fresh picked salad make it all worthwhile.
