Everyone comments on how lovely it looks. Looking at the area under the trees I think I need to put in some more ferns. Jane has planted a number of ferns some of which are flourishing and others look a little weak but this could be because it's winter. There is a superb fern nursery in Binbrook so I will be going back there towards the end of spring.

I'm still burning the beech tree that was felled before we started the build. Just a few logs on the wood burner will heat the whole of the open plan area all evening.
