Time to strip out the pantry completely, so we can go in and finish it all. Two of the walls still need plastering, and then limewashing; lots of fiddly woodwork has to be done to insulate the room all round (it is partly under the stairs, which makes this a tricky job); then the woodwork will need filling and painting; and we have to put through an air duct for the cooker extractor fan which involves redesigning the window. So this is the last room to do, and it's going to be fiddly.

Having stripped the pantry, we are living in turmoil. We need access to everything, so jars and bottles are stacked in the windowsill and on (and under) the table. We are crammed into a corner of the room, threading our way between the heaps.
Outdoors, a winter coat of compost goes around the Moringa roots, in an attempt to keep them warm
