The weekend saw a frenzy of activity with the scaffolders arriving and getting all of the scaffold up ready for a start by the roofers yesterday. There were three nice young men each day. They worked really hard and their banter was very entertaining. This photo is the rear of the house with the scaffolding only up one level. DH managed to finish stripping the wallpaper in bedroom 4 and I got a lot of gardening done, having had to move all my pots from around the outside of the house to somewhere a bit safer.

Monday saw the arrival of a pair of Roofing Birds!! They managed to find plenty of birds (sparrows) and wasps nests under the eaves, some still had active wasps in them. There was also evidence of where squirrels had tried to gnaw their way in through some protective metal mesh that had been erected in the past. Goodness knows what else they are going to find. Poor Sox spent most of the day hiding outside terrified.

We can't get up the drive now so are having to park Nobby and the Whale (aka the hire car) along the road close to a neighbour's house. I have been using a short cut across the stream to get to them rather than walking all the way round on the public footpath.
