Back to work

We have not been able to do any work in the tower at Strensham for quite a while. This has been due to a number of factors, including illness.

Anyway, a good session tonight saw most of the 1911 wheels treated with a high quality wood preserver. They have also been strengthened with the addition of a large number of stainless steel screws around the wheel rims which were previously only held in place with somewhat rusty nails. This will ensure that they will be fit for purpose for a good many years yet.

I didn't take any photos of the work in the tower, however the churchyard is putting on a really good display of snowdrops.

Here is a night time photo taken using my phone and a portable work light.
