We are having some very unseasonal weather for May. It’s only about 15°c and the days are spattered with rain showers. Great for the garden, but not so great for us. Yesterday we were lightened with an amazing double rainbow, it was so bright and a full curve, it looked like it was holding the dark rain cloud up and only letting the soft spring rain fall on our village.

One end of it shone right onto the top of our neighbours shed, Brian is considering going to dig it up for the pot of gold.

We are now focusing on getting the laundry room finished. There is a dirty old wall made of builders blocks which Brian is panelling with some tongue and groove wood.

Whilst he is progressing with this, I’m trying my hand at lime mortaring the stone wall. I thought this would be an easy wall for me to practice on, and it’s not too big so I won’t feel too daunted by it.

I’m hopeful over the next few days we will have made some good progress in this room.
