Progress on the barn

One of the things that we love about the site is the wonderful stone barn,
that we have since learned was the original house, built in 1879.

The barn in August 2013 when we moved to the croft

Removing the concrete render

The colourful stage
Lovely new watertight roof ! The shacks either end are jobs for another day .
Beware oncoming traffic !

Two week old wild kid on the roadside, Mum is keeping an eye from the bushes.

Around every corner is a deer

Patterns in the sand at low tide

Both eggs from our hens but the one on the left has no shell, weird to hold
The largest egg so far, eye watering !

"Why can't they just put the water in a dish ?"

  3. Judging from all the pictures, this was definitely a great day for you! And I hope it will continue to be that way, especially on the progress of your barn. Finishing the roof is a huge relief. From then, you can concentrate on other work around the house. And speaking of it, how is it now?
