Watford? I've been visitng Skye.

Had a great trip up to Skye last weekend with mum to see how Simon, Debbie and Holly are doing with their housebuilding and to finally find out what the Island really looks like.

They have bought six chickens that seem to be everywhere but are very funny and do useful things like laying eggs.



The house looks great and going inside really gives an idea of the size of it. The views are brilliant and I am really looking forward to taking Rob up to see the beautiful scenery.

Progress with the glass

Well, have been struggling through quite a difficult section but am pretty pleased with the way Nick and Naomi's window is shaping up.

The tricky bit is where the trunks and branches lead up to the main crowns of the trees and the bits wobble about so quite a bit of recutting has taken place - but am now looking forward to reaching the redder sun areas to balance the strong greens at the base.

Initially, some very warm orange pieces were planned - as below:



Have to say that although it looked a great colour, seeing it against the purples and blues it jarred so went back to the drawing board and cut another piece.



The colours look quite bright against the white paper but when it is against the light they will appear paler and I am looking forward to getting it cemented and lifted up to see how it really works.
