Plastering over the Cracks

Wild West Yorkshire nature diary

We've had our wettest August for 50 years. Now the weather has become brighter again a magnolia in a neigbour's garden is confused enough to have put out a few flowers.

I spend the afternoon plastering over cracks and minor blemishes in the walls on the staircase and putting flexible filler around door frames. It hasn't taken so long to go but fitting the decorating in amongst my other commitments has made it drag on. When the chance comes today to have a decorator in to strip, fill and paint the back bedroom we jump at the chance.
