After a bit of scraping last night I spent today scraping even more. I was a bit worried how George might react but thankfully he was quite impressed. The stone corbels have a beam of wood across the top. These fireplaces are typical of humble cottages in The Morvan.
Just dying here of envy, what a fireplace. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to look at insulating the roof shortly, after coffee. We have the fibre glass. I have my bleus or blue dungarees.
DeleteAll the cottages here are like this and they are very cheap. I can't quite believe it. It took me years to get a place like this and it came strangely unexpectedly and without much effort. Just a massive step in bravery.
