Risk assessments done!
Full Moon Rising
Seals at Seal Bay, the thrift is out.

Archie's not so sure!
"Throw us a hammer"!
It was a week of toilets, baths and showers, but no-one got to test it until the end!

Another one of those skies.
Rick made some recycled benches.
The deer ate my cherry tree leaves, Fiona told me they would!
In 12 days we made benches, mended rafters, built chicken houses, knocked down more walls, walked up the Fairy Hill to pay our respects, ate lots and lots of food, drank a few drinks and had a lot of fun. There were sewers dug, walls finished, nails pulled, sunsets and moon rises, animals and birds.
I'll be back soon, Mary-Ann
