It`s driving us up the wall

Today we spent some time in the garden of the house. The fruit trees are dropping their apples and pears, so we decided to harvest some of them. The apples will be taken to Gelterkinden, and squeezed for apple juice. I have promised my son Lewis that he can taste it when he visits Switzerland in January.

The afternoon was spent pointing the great wall. We managed to point over half of the brickwork, to a standard Les Harrison would be proud of. We really had to take control of this task, as the new stairs arrive on Tuesday, and the pointing would be more difficult with them in place.

Yesterday evening we drilled a hole through the wall of the guest room to run a cable for the satellite system. The drill bit was 90 cms long, and just made it through the wall.

The guest room is where Lewis, Thomas and Elliott will sleep when they visit, but it will also double up as our Tv room. The famous Harrison round sofa bed will be located in this room, and is mighty comfy.
