All the green oak woodwork has been pegged together and is now drying, weathering and probably shrinking too, before panes of glass can be inserted. If we had put the glass in straight away, there would have been one or two cracked panes.

Ideally, I would love to melt down and re-cycle some of our glass bottles etc. into small glass panes but I don’t have the contacts with the kilns. If by chance you do, let me know as I think it would be sooooooooooo wonderful to melt the glass in such a way that you can slightly detect the bottom of melted glass bottles in it when the sunlight is ‘just right’.

Having called this shed something glam. like the ‘tea house of the double moon’, we best have an opening party (Traditional Welsh Tea Ceremony) when the glass is fitted. If you are thirsty for an update or are good at writing tea ceremonies, you best let me know fast before I write myself some overlong quasi-Nippon-Celtic version.
