sunshine!

At last the sun came out and Peter and I spent the day working as maçons. We made a hole...


... quite a deep hole, into which will be placed the échafaudage,  or scaffolding, as the tower rises. This is the right corner tower as you face the front of the château. The walls here are about a meter and a half + thick, so although we didn't increase the surface area much, there's lots of bulk!! (as they say - never mind the quality, feel the width) 
 This is for you, Fran - lovely ironwork! Even the nail-heads are decorated, and each is different.
End of the day - I was determined to get a picture of Pete.
Des res., centre france, will be completed in about 14 years.
Now, cream for the sunburn, ibuprofen for the aches and pains and curry & red wine cos I like it!
