I have electricity in my studio! Tom and Ryan came yesterday to do the work; fortunately it was a dry day as they were working outside a lot on my cotina.

So here's a picture of the consumer unit and sockets, I suppose it isn't that exciting news but as it saves me walking up and down the garden with the extension lead, I am very grateful!

And here's a picture of my Cortina cotina which carries the cable and saves burying it underground.

I have hung a bird feeder from the hook at the top but you can't see it very well, I didn't notice when I took the picture that it is kind of merging into the background of next door's chimney.

It was only up 10 minutes and the blue tits found it, but they fly away every time I get my camera out!

Ryan and Tom left around 4pm and by 4.30pm (after I had put everything back exactly as I wanted it), I was making beads in it! I only did about an hour and a half, but it was getting dark and it was great to have my new 4ft fluorescent light tube as I could keep working so now, round the clock beadmaking is possible!
