Bedroom wall completed - yay!

So we filled the streaky grooves in with patching plaster this morning, sanded down the rough bits, wiped it all down with a damp cloth and then on went the sizing coat of paint. An hour or so later, I rollered the top coat on. Wow, what a difference! We then manouevred the wardrobe and chests of drawers into place and hey presto, our bedroom is at last taking shape (photos to follow when Andy gets round to putting his stuff away!).

Strange sounds in the woodland
I took a little movie from our bathroom window this morning as we have been hearing some very strange noises coming from the woodland opposite. We reckon it may be a couple of stags but either way, it is an eery noise as it echoes across the valley. If anybody recognises the sound, let us know! But we have been hearing gunshot in the area over the past couple of days and reckon hunting season is starting, so we will have to take care when we venture out into the woodland from now on.
