Furniture Removals by Ladder

Throughout and before the building process our home has been host to a great deal of great but excessive furniture in some of its rooms, awaiting location in the new extension.  Not least has this been the case in the Wendy House in  the top garden which has been packed to the roof with three double beds, bedside cabinets, a dressing table and much more.  The dry weather has provided a good opportunity to shift it to its new locations.

Social distancing has meant that we must literally do it ourselves.  I shall always remember our late joiner Dave Richardson telling me "There's nowt you can't do thy sen if that puts tha mind to it fust".

The furniture in the Wendy House, all of it awkward and some of it heavy has been an absolute headache.   The absence of stair access to its lofty position has not helped one bit.  However, that very lofty location is providing the solution.  An extending ladder secured on the access slope has enabled the job to be done.   Picture later.

There continue to be lovely pictures of this area online to lift the spirits:

I think the one above should be captioned "Let's Play Statues"

Meanwhile a pair of Mandarin ducks have decided to nest on the river Ribble:

We joined in the mass clap for the NHS at 8pm last evening.  This time the noise was joined by Settle's fire engine.   Whoop, whoop, whoop, waah, waah, waah.
