Here's what you've all been waiting for.....week 11! Hooray!

I'm afraid I got a bit clicker happy on Sunday, it was a glorious sunny day and I was happy!

Well, as you will see the new electricity pole was inserted. The pictures are taken from the field next door, owned by Mr. Pugh who gave us kind permission to go on his land and reposition it. I was amazed to discover that they only put it into the ground 6' and even more amazed that they just backfill it with soil. Aparently if they set it in concrete the pole with snap cos there's no give when it gets windy, it's true.....you learn something every day! You will also see that I got a private pole dancing session! They are coming back on the 11th to put the new wiring on.

Phil and Henry took down the chimney stack from the living room, so I have another view of the sky! It was nice to be able to go up the scaffolding and take some pics of the surrounding views, gives you an idea of what we will see from the living/kitchen/dining rooms (and balcony).

The kitchen is being dismantled as I write, so I have taken some photos to remind us how to put it back together. I actually don't have any pictures of it so thought it was my last chance to get some!

Oh....and I almost forgot, a pic of Mackintosh taken from the scaffolding. He says he can't wait till it's all finished......nor can I!

By the way......there will be a Christmas, but not as you know it....Jim!

Bye for now.x.
