In the lounge - once prepared
Sal slaps the paint on the walls
Using bold colours is always a bit of a gamble and halfway round we are still not sure
But we have learnt not to be too hasty with our judgement
As once complete it looks smashing!!
The Somerset village of Stawell
Stawell is recorded in the Domesday Book. The name is thought to come from the Saxon words for 'Stoney Stream' or well and may allude to the pond at Ford Farm. Objects which lie in this water become encrusted with lime and the conditions are perfect for the creation of 'Tufa' a type of limestone which forms in close proximity to bodies of water with a high content of dissolved minerals. Tufa, a very light rock was used to make the vaults of Wells Cathedral. Mill Barn used to be part of Ford Farm and generated electricity to power the mill from that very stream and it too has some walls made from Tufa.
