Quarries

A range of jobs to keep the wolf from the door - staircases, kitchens, bathrooms and roofs. Some near by and some far away - Justin's roof in Clapham (London) turned into a 20 hour epic when floods and landslips caused railway mayhem!

There's been a good fall of snow in the Pyrenees 40-60cm and there's more due on Wednesday (I hate missing the first snows and the first ski). Cold weather here too but no snow. 

Susie and I headed off for the Western Moors and visited Foggintor and Swelltor quarries. At the second quarry I rescued a sheep which was stuck on a ledge - reckon she'd been there a good few days judging by the sheep shit on her ledge and her emaciated state. Managed to get back to the car before the worst of the rain.
