Yesterday, after having work in the cold and windy cave interrupted by the succession of storms, I mounted the completed sparrow hotel on my back wall, and blocked the swift nest entrances pending their return from Botswana in early May.







Today I replaced the top half of the corrugated cave window which Eunice had ripped out, and added a 3x3 central leg to the slightly bowed work bench in anticipation of plonking the engine, and subsequently the gearbox, on it for cleaning etc. Once I'm happy that the jobs which might prove difficult with them in situ are done, I'll bolt them together and offer them up, at which time the real work can begin. Roll on spring and summer!
