Sorry that the Diary has been a bit hit and miss. We have been very busy with putting in a new kitchen in a small cottage next to the Farm House. All we have had is problems. The boiler is behind a false wall that has not been opened for maybe 12 years. Two pipe had very small leaks. maybe for all of that time. We made a number of mistakes in fitting the Kitchen. Today after getting most of the bottom units fitted I realised that I had not allowed a position for the built in fridge. I had to redesign a good part of it. I wasn’t best pleased to say the least. There are still a lot to do. We may use it as a Holiday Cottage. It would be ideal for the disabled, as it is all on ground level.
The underwater camera has arrived in the US Virgin Islands. Where I have been so busy I have not had an opportunity this week until this afternoon to contact Michael to see how it is progressing. I will let you know when he gets back to me.
I am also waiting to hear from the US Department about the Turtle Beach webcam. The people running the site have to get permissions for the project. They are very keen on the idea, lets hope the powers to be are as well. The camera that we will supply, if they agree will be an excellent deterrent against the poachers of the Turtle eggs and those killing the Turtle. Again I will let you know how it is going when I hear.
