At it again.

Making use of the old coal bunker.
First job cutting a new door hole in the side, then I will brick the original door hole up. In yorkshire language the coal bunker is called a coal hole pronounced coil oil.
The door hole likewise is pronounced dooer oil. 

 After marking it up with a plumb line I start cutting the 4" thick concrete wall, it's a mucky job but the only way it can be done.  

 Time to take stock.

 Yes I could see through the goggles but only just.

 The cutter only cuts 3" deep so I had to attack the wall from both sides inside and out.

Not being able to cut the corners out caused a bit of a problem so I drill them and left them in place to trim up later.

 Just sorting the corners.

 Ready for the door frame.

 A bit more drilling.

Fixing bolts.

 Old door on, needs a bit of titivating up but it will do for the time being. 

Bricks for the old door hole are ready just need mortar, that's the next job.

After that the old wooden gate post and crappy bit of wall are coming down, neither are any part of my handy work a blind man would have made a better job of it.

Workingmans Club.

 Wednesday night in the local club not very busy yet but it will fill up before the turn gets on stage.

 I was determined to go out for a drink it's what we do here when we have something to celebrate.

 The group Guitars & Stripes were the turn this week, not too loud just about right.

They could certainly play good guitar but they needed a vocalist.

 The more you drink the better they get, strange that!

Hornsea East Yorkshire.

Una and my youngest sister Janet.

On our way to Hornsea going through Seaton Una got a picture message on her phone, our niece had given birth to a baby son 9lbs 1oz that morning. Welcome to Mason Paul.

Lemon Cucumbers.

It's the first time I have heard of or grown these Lemon Cucumbers, they only look like lemons they taste like cucumber.

The Wentworths and the Fitzwilliams.

 The heatwave goes on.

 The new winding stair case makes it easier to climb than the old stone one.

Stainborough Castle a folly built in the gardens, there was originally four turrets but two were taken down due to mining subsidence.

 

Always wear the proper shoes in the woods, bits of stone and wood chips wept getting in Unas sandals.

Wentworth Castle.

 Short history of the two.

 Wentworth Woodhouse.
