Astonishingly, the humble kitchen facilities have withstood torrential rain, gale-force winds and even the weight of snow in February. The green gazebo is weather-beaten but standing. It was time to replace it with something more sturdy.
First there came some decking for what would be an outside dining area.
We built a pergola to provide cover because rain sometimes interrupted eating.
And then came a scullery first, followed by the kitchen. An initial frustration was that the kitchen could not be completed because two panels were missing from the shed, which had been delivered. We had to wait for a couple of weeks before the finished structure was ready to transfer equipment from the tent.
At last the job is done and we are ready for a new term.
The structures are complete with a final touch …
