Chapelhill Steading

Phew! It's been a busy couple of weeks!
After Greg and Nic and Daisy left us we were visited by the wonderful Chris and Mark. It was lovely to spend time with them... and we think they will be VERY impressed with how the outdoor steps are coming along! (They gave us a bit of help in the early stages...)

Stuart has been working really hard on these to get them just right, and under cover of darkness tonight the steps have been put into place and the whole thing is nearly done. They look AMAZING!

(in this picture you can see one of our windows wrapped up in cellophane - they arrived on Monday safe and sound and very beautiful!).
We have also had a bit of wintery weather up North. Some pretty hefty winds took our polytunnel last week. All the poly has pretty much gone (along with any remaining tomatoes we had) and some of the wood and metal skeleton has been damaged.

Stuart was home alone when the storm hit and he had to try to salvage the polytunnel as best he could - it looks very different now to how it was in all it's beautiful summery glory.
