6th August 2021 - Emptying the Wood Shed....

Thought for the day :"Met a woman who owns a taser. She is stunning!"

They say that you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs, and they say that it has to get worse before it gets better - well today was one of those days where we seem to be three steps backwards at the end of the day rather than making any progress.. but that is the plan!!!

So to start the day it was necessary to take a ladder to the flags and free of the Alcoluminati Flag which had frayed and was caught up... later the ladders were moved to allow Susie to dead head the front door roses...  

In order that the Tavern can get finished we need to find space for the costumes and boxes of clothing that are int he outer Tavern and find a waterproof, damp proof, rat proof area - and that seems to be the Wood Shed with certain adaptations.. And so - we have to find somewhere that the wood can be stored and sorted while the new costume wardrobe is created... 

So the first task was to get some of the old Bertha Tent Structure in place with tarpaulin over to provide an area where the wood can still remain dry in the rain - it being a Welsh Summer!!

And so we start..

What the Beer Garden looks like ...

And the task ahead - the wood shed is chock full

And later today - the beer garden is full of wood under the rain shade

We can see into the Wood shed ..

And the area inside is clear and ready to build a Wardrobe Costume holding area..

Was a fairly large task 

In other news, the ducks got into the lower springs again - so we have tried to find the gap and fix it - fingers crossed!

We are inundated with Balsam and spending a lot of time pulling up the flowers.... also getting on top of the nettles is proving a problem - one day we will get there ...

Put the new hogs out last night - Benny Nikki and Bracken - set up the trail camera but no images this time .. except for the set up...

and so - another day ...

Cheers !
