The stables have arrived. The stable block is an old Britains Riding stable that was discovered in the loft of a friend of a friend .It was all in pieces and had only part of the roof and that was broken. The stable doors were intact and the bolts still work. Tack room is without any fittings but no matter. A new roof has been made from balsa and covered with the same tiles as I used for the Museum.

The horsebox also came out of the same loft and although we thought it also had missing bits they turned up in the bottom of the box. Water troughs and a wreck of an old tractor were in there too along with a pig sty (complete), The wreck has now been suitably rusted (poster paint) and is now alongside the forge draped in weeds awating repair.

The man with the gun (a redundant Boer) and his dog are after the rats hiding in the hayricks
