We pulled the plug for the final time on Monday of the newer toilet block and today I can officially announce it is no more. (it took a while to come up with that headline!) The digger, which is amazing to watch as it picks away at the building like a hand, got to work on Monday removing the building and today the final wall came down. It was a frustrating job as the walls were lined with insulation so each wall had to be separated and certain bits removed. Whilst the digger has been outside the builders and a few of our family have been working hard on the inside of what was formerly known as the old block knocking down all the walls to make way for a full reconstruction. Currently reception is like a bathroom show room - if you would like one of 7 toilets and hand basins please do get in contact with us.

It is exciting to see work happening so quickly, we are already making decisions about finishes and fittings to ensure that we have excellent quality and highly practical facilities.
So, please don't be thinking we are having a nice rest now. No, officially we are still open for a few more days, despite the lack of facilities there are a brave few on site too. Richard is coming home each night looking frazelled as the scale of the project becomes clear along with the number of major decisions that are needed each day. And as for me - my soft little hands have nearly recovered now after planting up over 1000 bulbs over the weekend - hopefully they will be out in full glory when we open in March.
