3rd December 2017
It is still taking a while to acclimatise to the slow country pace that I’m not used too. I have been taking long walks to think about the work that lies ahead, and I want to get to it as soon as possible. There are huge logistical problems of getting materials to the place, so in my mind I am trying to work out ways that can be achieved. The last time I had to do major work to the place I was much younger and stronger, but what the heck, anything is possible.
I had a look round Illminster a small town that featured in the English civil war, and judging by some of the residents, most of the survivors still live here. I stopped off for a coffee, but the guy was so busy entering a large breakfast order, I got bored and walked out.
I know if I had stayed I would have ended up with afternoon tea.
