Yesterday work got rained off about mid-afternoon, but they managed to get all the stones out of the wall and make a giant mud-pit of the place before that.
It’s a real shame to lose that wall, but obviously if the foundations need it to come out in order to be stable, there’s not a lot we can argue about.
It’s possible we’ll be able to scoop it back up and rebuild something similar, maybe a bit further forward.
But for now it’s a bit of a mudslide.
However, it has left the build site free of topsoil and smoothed out nicely.
The little weed of a hazel tree near the loo (which had got a bit big, actually), provider of many sausage-cooking sticks over the last four years, had to come out. But Anna and I butchered it up and it will make a week’s firewood, once it’s seasoned.
