Frozen Pipes!

It was REALLY COLD  this morning:

Sunrise looked fantastic:

And the frost on the ground - WOW!

But with freezing temperatures comes frozen water pipes - and as all of ours are above ground and sparsely insulated we had no running water from the caravan when we woke up!

Luckily, there was a tap running freely in the pumphouse, so we used that to fill the kettle and coax our pipes into action... it took a bit of time, but we got there in the end and managed a cup of tea for our efforts:

There is something quite magical about frost in the morning:

And when the sun peeks out - WoW! You forget about all the difficulties and just soak it all in...

Purlin, Felt, Batton, repeat

Mike braved the elements today to get the roof structure back on the pumphouse:

Replacing the previous timbers with newer ones, that were worm free 

and offered a more robust framework:

It got too wet to go any further so it was time to take a well deserved break:

 The next day it was on with the felt:

starting to look like a proper room now:

Last nail in the for the day:

And here's a very happy Mike admiring his work
