A walk through the school - attic and outside

This is the final entry in the "walk through" series of blogs. If you have read them all you will have seen all the downstairs and first floor of the school. In this one I am going to show you the attic and also a fair few pictures taken outside around the land and the outbuildings.

There are a lot of pictures in this update so I shall begin where I left off...

We are on the 1st floor landing, stairs down to the right, attic stairs behind the door

So there you have it. I have more pics than this but I didn't want to bore you so I've pulled out the best ones. As things change I will put more pictures on (obviously) but it'll be very interesting for me to look back at these in a couple of years and remind myself of just where I have come from.

Here's to starting the work and making this fabulous building a lovely house.
