The continuing story of the house Joe and Mary Ann Scott lived in for over 50 years and the families that have lived here since.*
And today the story is nothing more than a reflection on the return of an old fashioned winter's day on Beech Road.
It is cold, a pale and indifferent sun has done nothing to lift the temperature, but it ain't raining and that is a bonus as Nigel and Craig are setting about relacing the roof on the jutty out bit at the back of the house.
The tiles a builder used 40 years ago were too heavy, have cause some damage and we are going back to slates ..... the sort Joe would have used back in 1915 when he built the house.
And that is about it, other than to say at midday the evidence of the early morning frost is still there for all to see.
