After an hour of scrubbing, scraping and pressure washing I had finally cleaned up the chimney and the floor beneath it. Totally covered in what I can best describe as "pigeon poop splash-back" I then briefly adjourned to clean up before I fixed the spikes in place.
The doves it turns out are not very happy about this turn of events and have been sitting on the roof making loud noises at me all day in protest.
I also filled in the vegetable bed today and worked in 180 litres of manure to improve the soil. Some of the plants have arrived from Mr Fothergills today so Martha and I can start planting up together tomorrow.
