The white flag is slowly creeping up the pole …. 38yrs at the coal face is enough.

Can’t even begin to tell you how much work went into this wall feature wall , It’s the only wall in 38 yrs I’ve lost sleep over ….

Exposing the existing Cross of Lorraine was only the start of it. This wall is curved, maybe 4 different backgrounds to contend with and using French materials I was only introduced to 3 days ago.

To say I’m proud of the outcome is an understatement.

Finally time to relax and do some “ easy stuff” for few days….🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

France , Visit number 2 , day 1
Started with a bit lime work. Existing Cross of Loraine incorporated into the render to leave it exposed

One wall skimmed with “Latusse L” ….. very different to anything we use in UK.

It’s a funny old game.

8hrs later , and just before deposit was due , gotta admit his honesty … he found someone else cheaper can you drop my key off ,

Crack on sunshine
