The last couple of months have been quite busy and most of the time we have had helpers with us, quite a lot has been achieved with the new hen run now compleated with the help of a young American and Rod, a charming older man from Yorkshire. Rod did a tremendious amount of work, chainsawing most of our winter fuel and chipping the smaller stuff, not to mention fixing various electrical appliances and doing the washing up every night, a real gem.
We also had a helper who had been with us two years ago come for a" holiday" I use this term very loosely as her partner topped two very tall conifers for us, a job long over due, he is a tree surgen, and Lauren continued with the pointing which she had nearly completed two years ago, it was lovely to see her again and hope her next visit will sooner than two years hence.
