The roof is finished

The roof is finally finished, the chimney's have been rebuilt and the scaffolding has been taken down.  It turned into a much bigger job than we expected, but it should last for a very long time now.  The next thing will be getting the house painted as it is looking a bit scruffy.

Spring is a busy time on the farm, so today Brian is taking out some muck/dung/manure that has been 'maturing' in our 'midden' for a year.   Here he is heading off to the field at the top of the road.
