2nd June 2008. Residency day 14

We dind't go into Walsall last week because it was half term, and it rained all week.

Its good to be back in the cottage. On our way into Walsall this morning, we got stuck in at least 7 sets of roadworks. It took over 2 hours, so we were late.

We met KADN who we have been sharing the foyer with.



We thatched the roof today. Thanks to Dean the technician, who worked with us to fix the thatch mats to the lattice frame that he had made for the cottage. The thatch mats fit really well and only need to be cut down a bit at each end. We are weighing the thatch down for a week to hold its shape on the roof.


We painted the walls inside, they were covered in carpet before and we couldn't get all the carpet tape off them.

Thanks to Nat Pitt for these Tudor Roses.
