Bale splitting dream-team: Paris, Lucy and Tina, working flat out
Our hive of activity
Me taking the photo, safe on the mezzanine, Rowan on the bales outside, hammering in stakes
Alan, a surprise arrival who came with Tina and turned out to be a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm - tying bales to the wood frame
The bale painters with Liz, another surprise arrival with Tina
Pete, Rowan's Dad, treating the structure as a climbing frame to tie bales in where there isn't a handy mezzanine
Someone else must've got hold of the camera - there's me in the foreground, watching Rowan and Dave stuffing bales in at the top level. Dave only did that one - just to show he could. Not comfortable at the top of a ladder.
And then it was 1 o'clock lunch time. I had made leek and potato soup and Mad Robbie brought a big tureen of spicy bean soup, so there was enough for everyone. At this point, we had 18 people in total.
