Community Action

It's exciting never knowing what a new day will bring. There was a thunderstorm last night, and it was still drizzly this morning. However, I looked out of the window at about 9 o'clock and there was our neighbour, John, looking at the Porcherie. John had agreed that he and his son Tom, who is here on holiday with the family, would help me put the new beams into position. But I hadn't expected things to move so quickly.



The job took all morning as there was a lot of assessing the situation and judging the risks, and, by the end, most of our little community was out to help, even if it was only vocally.

So, unexpectedly, by this evening, the beams are in place and I can press on with re-fitting the rest of the woodwork.

After the excitement of the morning, Sue carried on with building the steps for the path behind the Box hedge. Because of her personality, she has to ensure that everything, at every stage is perfect, level and right. I know that the end result is going to look good, but there is a little anguish in the getting there!
