Bad Weather Lockdown

The weather has finally turned and we are having the first serious blow of the construction season. Work has been halted for the past two days and looks to continue into tomorrow at least. But...it has been a successful season thus far:
The sun set for the first time last week on 14 Feb, it will stop rising around the end of April...








Although we are on hold at the minute, a lot has been achieved so far..
