Work in progress...

A perfect birthday weekend over, WonderA off back to Waverley and the prospect of locking horns with the authorities this evening added up to a recipe for the glooms...add a ladle of self pity and we’re off.

Getting a grip, tidying the workshop kept me up, restored order...recently made characters cheered me on.
This one (above) seemed to breathe a steady determination which fed me and the day rolled out calmly.

The planning meeting was upsetting but I think our voice was heard and a redraw of the plans to minimise disruption was the outcome. Too late to save the trees but enough to make us feel we had regained some status.
(We have a promise that after the river wall has been fixed, four semi- mature trees will replace the two beauties lost)
