Bye bye bridge. The bridge was put in place when they widened the road to a dual carriageway in 1966. Its sole purpose is to connect the 2 halves of the farm separated by the new road. After the incident in Novemeber when it was hit by the digger on the low-loader on the back of the tractor, they decided it was unsafe. So this weekend we've had multiple massive equipment, night and day. And now it's gone. The question now is: When will they replace it?

Snowdrops in the frost. Aren't they the most hope-giving sign? They fight their way through the hardest ground in the fiercest weather. Love 'em.

This is what a hole through a 500 yr old wall looks like. What you can't see is the 500 yr old dust that I've been battling with for weeks.

It's been worth it - the Facility is now in operation!
