Painting in the landscape and other matters

Creativity today took a few forms including: painting more of elderly neighbours barn roof; paving around the sewerage inspection pit; adding a little touch of art to the gravel; and finishing the painting of the shed and the new workshop/studio bench.

As you can case from the photos it was a glorious day to be outside working. I have done three sessions painting the barn roof with tar paint. What a setting to do it in - views of Armadale Bay and sheep in the croft next door.

What started out as doing drainage work around the sewage inspection pit resulted in Fiona and I gravelling the area over the drains and paving using the bricks that came out of the old redundant heaters that were originally in the cottage.

Scottish water replaced a leaking water connection and threw the old cover in the grass - we rescued it as we thought it was a wee art piece - cement and rust and all.

The work on the shed/workshop/studio is all but finished. Soon I will be working in there.

A big day in all - so a glass of wine is well deserved!!!!
