2012 Year Closes

2012 came to an end with rain and winds being the order of the day and the ground became very wet. It was this sort of weather that eventually resulted in us deciding to have the West Wall re-pointed.

Despite our walls being 0.75m thick the pressure of heavy wind and rain over many days results in water seeping inside, so we decide to get the mason, M. Aussourd back to help.

The work took 4 days and the end result is a clean and great looking wall. We decided to have Steve Walford make us 3 large brackets to support the growing Wisteria along three strands of chain.  Hopefully, the effect will develop during 2013 as the plant grows and flowers.
