Hannah and I had a night away for her Birthday yesterday. We weren’t far from Peasenhall so I thought it would be nice to see one of my jobs from last year with the scaffolding down.

But seeing this one yesterday made me feel proud to have made that!

Job completed at the end of last year.

A converted windmill in Framingham, thatched with water reed with a long straw and sedge block patterned ridge.

Really enjoyed this one and the views of Framingham were lovely.

Keep meaning to get some drone shots to fully show it off but busy schedule keeps getting in the way!
