So the kitchen has had some more soil added after another digging session now that the clay has softened enough to move. The suitable height has nearly been reached now, so just the "sideboard" to go on and then a roof/shelter to keep it dry-ish. We have taken down the tarps and moved them down into the Alder carr where it's less windy. Ant covered the two new storage boxes with roofing felt and so now things are looking pretty tidy in the wood.
The last few weeks of wet weather and high winds have also taken their toll on the temporary wood store we had made using an old plastic garden furniture cover... so I decided to try to make a simple frame covered in chicken wire that we had pulled from the wood (old pheasant runs!) not sure how or if it will work but it was good fun trying to find the right lengths of willows whips to feed through the "roof".
