Cold

It is and I have. I am up to make breakfast for our guest (the normal BP squad aren't coming down until Wednesday due to some unspecified problem) and am going back to bed again as soon as he's gone.

Meanwhile here are some pictures of work carried out so far.


This is the old stillroom which was being used as bottle store/junk room. It now looks like this


Note the old fireplace that has been uncovered to the right of the picture. The stillroom and corridor adjacent used to be a single room before the "newer" building was added in the late 18th century. The still room will become the main kitchen for the time being.
