The team is taking a break this Saturday, there's no surprise, but did take a modestly festive photograph for the occasion.
At Ruddington S.B. last week, we "debird" the stovepipe, which had become completely blocked by a feathered mess, and got the stove up to temperature while doing some general housekeeping. Outside, the final few courses of brick were laid on the chamber outside, which is now ready to receive cables in the new year.
We are looking forward to a new year when it comes, and very much hope you are too!
