Lovely sunny days again, so we're finishing off outside. Dave is painting the structural posts in the 'trombe wall' and I'm tackling the front door. I thought the door would be a quickish job, but all the frame needs sanding and filling and three coats of white inside and out, and the door needs two white coats and two blue coats inside and out. All very fiddly. While waiting for coats to dry, and between cups of tea, I pickaxe out grass clumps and press on with the hugel beds.

Dave indicating the 'last post' - finished!
The front door, filled and sanded, filled and sanded.
Dave starts on the windows
I get to the interesting bit where the door goes blue
Masking tape still on the glass, but otherwise, door finished. We intend to get some fancy cast iron fiddly bits in the glassed areas, its a bit of a local thing to do.
