I left SF with Clive & Tricia on Saturday and headed up to High Horse. This is the barn which is about half a mile from the main house. Clive uses the upstairs as his art studio and the ground level as a workshop. It is surrounded by trees and is in a beautiful setting.
In front of the barn is one of the Kawasaki mules that are used to get around the estate.
On my first tour of the estate we stopped off at the tree “house”. In truth it’s a platform built around a tree on a steep slope so that there’s a short set of steps leading up to the deck and a 5 metre drop on the other side.
In the early morning light with a bit of solar flare I took a photo of Clive and Tricia. The seats are thankfully bolted to the floor so there’s little risk of leaning back and falling off. Personally I think I would fix a rail around the top because I’m not great with heights.
One of the many tasks to be undertaken is to get a 10 wheeler truck started and ready to be removed from the site. It’s a long story as to why it is there and I’m not going into the reasons here. When I arrived the truck was wedged onto a tree stump and despite previous efforts the truck wouldn’t move backwards or forwards. Together with the use of a splitting axe, tree wedge and chainsaw we managed to remove the stump. We need to get the truck started and that requires charging the battery. Hopefully the battery isn’t too far gone to hold a charge.
