Ivy is a Problem

Spent this weekend removing Ivy from the outside walls. It has taken a real hold with some trunks

The trees on the hill are just turning that golden shade of autumn, but the sun still shines!

Ground Force Team Arrive

This weekend the Ground Force team arrived (a.k.a Becky and Tony) to assist with the big weeding job of the courtyard. Build up over a long time, resembling more of a lawn. We proceeded to expose about a third of the lovely cobbles. Guess what is planned for next weekend....

The Old Place Just Got a Lift!

Carpets are being laid, under the watchful eye of Andrew! I am told that the transformation 'makes you wan't to cry'

The Old Girl Emerges From Her Surgery!

With the help of the National Trust Team from the Holnicote Estate Office we were able to hold the penultimate engagement day. Around seventy people from surrounding villages made the effort to attend and see the wonderful work that has been undertaken in moving the project along, a credit to the craftsmanship of the whole team. It was great to meet so many positive people and undertake our induction into life in West Somerset. Thanks to all for attending, next time perhaps we can offer you something hot!
