Birds of a feather

Look what we've been given...

The larger pair are pheasants and the wee ones are partridges. They were shot today and will hang here quite happily for a week or more.
The room we've hung them in is the old meat store and the big iron ring covered in pointy hooks which is attached to the ceiling has been there since Victorian times.

Renovations
Well, the painters have finished for the moment and the plumber's connected up all the new stuff in the 1st floor bathroom. With the insurance work starting soon, there should be enough folk on site to attend to any unfinished business.
