These are a few pictures taken today of the Claife viewing station which has been made safe and partially restored without totally rebuilding, you can see the basic layout of the building in safety.
As soon as we walked in you could here this eerie wailing sound which was very spooky we then discovered this wooden contraption above a window which is shown in the last picture and the wind was blowing through it causing the ghostly wailing noise. At night it will sound the the Claife Crier, which is another story

A wonderful sunny morning as was yesterday and so we set off up Claife Heights for a walk, it is almost unrecognisable due to all the tree felling that is going on.

Busy busy time at Buckle Yeat with lots of decorating and updating of rooms, we have also fitted a really smart log burner in the lounge for those chilly evenings.
The eclipsed passed us by!! nice and sunny all week then a gloomy half hour just as the big event occurred!!!
