OF GREEN HOUSES AND SENTRY BOXES THEN HAIL STONES

A typically fraught  and busy day, I made little progress with editing until this evening but everything has been downloaded and ready to edit. I did the repaint of the shed windows which had turned to dust then started on the paintwork on the wood sections. Meanwhile Elton had been hard at it with the sentry boxes, finally getting the construction of the first of three done late afternoon by which time the clouds had gathered.

We realised that the boxes wouldn't fit the path way between our houses so it was up and over the fence. Then it started with hail stones but the tarps were at the ready and it is well wrapped. Roger Turner came round, he is masterminding the villages platinum jubilee celebrations, we'll be able to get the boxes on his trailer to Ged Coates' warehouse and when the three are ready we can paint them there under cover.

I got the royal ciphers made ready to glue in place and the gold trimming tape is here to apply when finished. They boxes look huge, Elton knocked a foot off the real measurement as I don't think our guard scarecrows will be that tall even in a bearskin. Meanwhile I can carry on with the editing first thing as we have a zoom meeting at 10am for the polio fellowship. I am still busy scanning the 1950s cine between other tasks.

Meanwhile here are some shots I took while filming at High Wycombe last Friday
