Hannah gets rendering

Sunday brought some good weather - well, good enough anyway. We were away all day on Saturday and missed one of the finest days of the year yet. Dissapointing in terms of house progress, but Hannah and I had a good time together so it wasn't wasted!

Sunday afternoon Hannah got her hands dirty and lent a hand filling in the gaps on the harled coat that I had done on the Wednesday. I had put it on too thinly leaving gaps, so Hannah and I got to work chucking some mortar on and it's a far more convincing base layer now.

It took about 5 hours from getting the gear out to clearing up, but what a difference an extra pair of hands made. It was a massive help and with out it it would have been another full day. So all good.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the neighbours labrador 'Ella' geting herself stuck in the hessian drapes. So funny. A lovely dog...
