Football; tennis; Motorbikin’
It’s all sport at the moment isn’t it! World cup (aren’t we doing well!) Wimbledon starting today, and the MotoGp was at Silverstone this weekend. The latter being my favourite! I thought we (the English) were having a bad World cup, but the French are having it worse, and our French stone suppliers, who are football mad, are very down in the dumps. We’ve got a couple of French masons helping us with a few jobs at the moment. We put a big old tv out in the yard where we’re carving the stone fireplaces, so that no one need miss a match. Now it seems the French have nothing else to watch, but hopefully after Wednesday we still will have!?
At least the weather is good for working outside. We’re finishing a large gothic style fireplace today, and it will be delivered and installed (in London) at the end of the week. We’ve also got a very nice ‘French style’ stone fireplace in the early stages of manufacture. We’re just waiting for some more blocks to arrive, as it needs a nice wide overhanging mantle shelf, and we hadn’t got a piece of stone in the yard.
Any one like tennis? I wonder if Murray can do it this year?
