Lots happened around Rock HQ today, which as can be seen is still under a covering of snow due to us being on the dark side of the bonsai mountain. This aspect of the smallholding is fairly new as there were two massive Ash trees that used to obscure the view as well as the sunlight. The daily reducing pile of logs from these can just be seen under the anti aircraft light just right of centre, the water tank is now in place and the temporary pump and cable are doing a grand job until the money tree blooms and it can be done properly. The other water tank has been removed from the lane and dragged up the hill to sit on top of the reservoir so that when the pump freezes there will be a spare 250 gallons before we run out and resort to well water. The only reason this is not full and the plan up and running is that the pump in the bore hole is frozen. Again. More wood got chopped, the animals were attended to and William got exercised. All in all a very busy day, especially as the final piece of the windmill we have been building since last August was put in place. Things look very promising here at Rock HQ.
