A little bit hard to video and use the screen at the same time lol new retractable fly screen installed in the kitchen. Can now easily make use of the servery window. Have also installed one in the main bedroom and have two more to go into the room with the single beds.

The old couch served The Lock Up well, but it was time for an update.

Have stumbled across a few historical records from when The Lock Up was built and then throughout its use. The first is the estimate to build it, a princely £760 in 1935.
