In glorious autumn sunshine the latest addition to their fleet was put through its paces this morning under the company directors' watchful eyes.

Lining up...




Under way...



looking good so far...



Emerging from the right places... so far

It would definately seem the arthritic woodworm that were originally holding the decrepit hen house together have now been replaced by something a little more structural - although Mr Riley did seem a little uncertain whilst stood on the top setting up, perhaps the danger of falling straight through hasn't totally gone?

Alas, Shropshire engine owners would appear to have been robbed of another source of lighting up wood, as the satisfying whirr and patter of grain suggests that after many years in abandonment it has been resurrected.
Never mind, perhaps Mr. Goddard can be persuaded to bake us all a loaf of bread instead?

Congratulations to all who have been involved in the restoration!
...I wonder what lost cause is going to be tackled next??
