Painting and Decorating

I’ve spent the last few days at the Trees for Life property, Dundreggan.  The lodge is currently being altered to meet building regulations (disabled access, etc) for use as accommodation for the work weeks to be held there.  Myself and Norman were meant to be painting but, perhaps not surprisingly, the builders had overrun.  So they were in our way, and we ended up spending more time prepping than painting.

Still, it was good to catch up with Norman, who I’d not seen since my first work week, back in October ’06, and we managed to scrape together some decent meals and extract a conversation or two from Pierre, the French volunteer, who is staying at Dundreggan for a month, where he hopes to learn English.  To be fair his English is better than my french, but then I have no intention of learning french or going to France.  I had to speak to him very slowly as apparently I have an accent which he finds difficult to understand.  I wasn’t very good at it.

Must remember to add some photos…  Ok, here they are.
