In my haste I missed out my favourite image of the day, and shots of a door which they located on the estate of exactly the right dimensions to fit the Mushroom shed where this restoration is taking place. The door has a fascinating story to tell.
I spotted the feast the woodworm had enjoyed, but had not noticed some details that show evidence of cattle rubbing against the door, and a nibbled entrance made either by rats or mice! To help make up the number, I have added another shot of Keith painting up the springs with Hammerite to protect them from rust, and the handle for the cart.
But my favourite was the beautiful curves of the support, carefully carved to reduce weight yet be strong where needed.
