Bit chilly

It was a very chilly start to the day. We had a few hail showers, which are really not good this time of year, as they can damage the buds on the fruit trees and vines. The lower temperatures also can be harmful, so it will be a bit of a tense time over the coming few days for the vignerons as temperatures are forecast to drop to -4°c at night.

Today was a day of pushing ahead to get the painting in the salon finished. I was cutting in around the skirting, whilst Brian did the fireplace and around the coving. I also worked on emptying the left hand cupboard, cleaning everything down as it had got covered in a fine dust when we had sanded, and painting the inside before putting it all back. It will give me a chance to re-organise the cupboard as well.
