Statues, horses and chimneys

Meet Jack who is the horse on Mull, got to keep Sally company. He is a bit smaller than her at the moment but is one quarter shire so should end up taller. He is very friendly but at only 10 months not to be totally trusted.

The statue and sundial are now fixed in position and the sundial seems fairly accurate if you remember to allow for BST

We finally managed to prepare and paint the gable over the Edwardian Wing. The cherry picker isn't quite big enough to reach and scaffolding was going to be far to expensive and also difficult to erect so we settled for ropes. They were tied to one chimney stack and then run along the roof ridge to the far end where we spent a couple of days dangling around sorting out the wall, which turned out to be in better condition than I thought.
