Up, up, we’re there

So yesterday we put back the second set of shutters. It was all a bit scary as this pair did seem heavier, however I think the fact that they are at the front of the house, and the sheer fear of having someone witness us dropping them put us both on edge.

So we devised a plan, in hindsight there were so many things wrong with this plan, but at the time it sounded like a perfect plan. Brian suggested we tie a rope around the shutter so that I could stop it falling. Great idea I thought. I can do that. So this time instead of me hanging onto him, we’ve cut the middle man out and I’m hanging onto the shutter. So we have Brian now hanging out of the window hanging onto the shutter with his finger tips, and I have a piece of rope wrapped around my wrist guiding the shutter into place.

After a few choice words, and lots of ‘up, up, up - now down, hang on, don’t let go!’ ‘We’re nearly there’ we both exclaimed ‘yep’ ‘we’ve done it!’.

And what perfect deep blue sky for my picture
