No Peace for the Wicked

Our first summer guests are here and are determined to help us with the house! So, we dutifully supplied David with a hammer and chisel and pointed him at the back wall.

The majority of the wall is covered with a sand and lime render called 'crepie' and fortunately it isn't too difficult to take off. The intention is to repoint the wall when the builder finishes making new windows and a door in the walls, sometime in the future. But for now it is interesting to see what quality of stones the walls are made from.

Not to be outdone, June took over mowing the grass, after a quick driving lesson. She even got up to full-speed.

Our neighbours thought that the fact that Sue and I could watch our friends working for us was very amusing!
