New Roof and Old Shoes
Work has been slowly progressing on the re-building of our Lodge, former dwelling of Helen Grant RIP. Our builder Colin Thomson had completed the concrete shell of what had been Helen’s living room. Then in early February this year he was making final preparations before the Joiners came in to set up new timbers for the roof. To his great surprise, tucked away in a corner between the back (East) wall and the old roof timbers, over what had once been the back door, he found a pair of shoes.
