Vicarage life this week has been very busy with the addition of the Quinquennial builders. On Monday we spent the morning with seven workers swarming over the house, comprising our normal team of the three jolly lads, their boss & their electrician, the boiler service man AND the washing machine repair man after the laundry emerged smelly on Friday afternoon.
The main project has been painting external woodwork, and the blue I chose last week is being applied today. It’s rather more lurid than I was expecting, but I’m getting used to the cheery tone. They’ve had a cherry picker in too, to reach the eaves of the house, which is three storeys, with 10′ ceilings. Rather them than me up there wobbling about.
It’s been a bit of a hot and sticky week for them, especially for the Jolly Lad who’s been doing the plastering in one of our attic rooms and in the bathroom. I’ve been keeping them supplied with ice lollies as well as coffee.
So here are a few shots to update you on how things are looking:
-
- Wobbling around the eaves
-
- Hello to lurid blue door
-
- Bye bye to the red door
-
- Cooling off with a cola lolly in the bathroom

Perhaps you mixed up the colour chart with the tea shirts that the chaps seem to be wearing.
It is very hot and sticky in this Diocesan Office. No cola lollies have appeared at all. Do you feel called for a transfer?
The lurid blue seems to match the logo perfectly 😉
