What a day it has been, not so much with the cottage but rather the garden. Nicola and Colin came up to tackle the ivy-riddled fence. Years of neglect allowed the ivy to cover the wooden fence totally. It looked like a wall of twisted branches growing over a rotten wooden frame. By the time I got to the cottage they had removed half of the fence, and when I got back after taking plasterboard off-cuts most had been cut down. It was amazing to see the transformation, and that continued when my daughter-in-law, Louise join the trim team.
At the end of the afternoon there were piles of cuttings to go for recycling.
In the cottage the gas supply was being installed, and the water system tested. There were no pools of water, or exasperated plumbers running around, so I guess it was a success.
