The Old Man ponders the ceiling
Kitchens, Carols and Mill Road Dereliction, Cambridge and Brome, Suffolk - 20th December 2008
The Old Man turns up for a couple of weeks to help de/re-construct the kitchen, which has turned up in the form of 40 boxes of mystery stuff. The old Parkray back-boiler proves particularly troublesome to remove, and we end up having to hire a large Kango hammer-drill in order to get it out, at the cost of around a full day's work. Later, it's time for the annual Christmas Carol thrash at Thandeston Church, where Fred makes an appearance dressed up in natty Santa gear. Meanwhile, down Mill Road in Cambridge, the derelict building which, er, "accidentally caught fire", is in the process of being finished off.

The Old Chap rips some ceiling down
The ceiling has been removed
Grandad weilds a hammer
Time for a break
Dust from angle-grinding lingers in the air
The old kitchen is cleared away
The Old Chap mills around the near-empty kitchen
Sunlight in the dust
Kitchen-in-a-box
The first bits of the new kitchen are laid out
We spend ages digging out an old Parkray
The boiler is still stuck in
Nosher angle-grinds a couple of steel pipes
A new ceiling is installed
The kitchen now has decent lighting
Paul's sad as 'bleak mid-winter' isn't on the list
Nosher and Fred, as Santa
Isobel
Paulio
Fred and Isobel
Jessica is passed over to Gran/Nan
Claire points Jessica in the direction of the camera
Uncle Phil torments Matthew
Nosher and Fredster, back at the pad
Mill Road dereliction
The burnt-out building is demolished
There's not much left
A bus stop on Mill Road
A huge pile of rubble
A wrecked brick pavement
Flimsy barriers keep the people out
Sunset and trees, between Wetherden and Haughley Green
