    I think we’re going to end up in a deep pile of manure if we wander too far from the village walls. Ekis, who I have a sneaking suspicion is some how related to the lord of the manor, will close and lock the gates on us. I’ve heard the wolves that roam the area are particularly vicious. There have also been stories of malicious spirits known to prey on anyone foolish enough to cross their path.

    They make great Christmas presents, since few people have coal these days. Especially for bosses, bad neighbors and some very “special” relatives.

    Aren’t meadow muffins and road apples supposed to bring good luck, along with fewer intimate encounters?

    Just remember, we’re all supposed to meet at the tavern ( including those rafter hangers ) to celebrate some guy named Ekis and his accomplishments. I hope with all the straw on the floor a fire doesn’t “accidentally” get started. Hopefully no one would be hurt. It could however mean the entire village would have to be rebuilt. 
     
    Look at what happened to Chicago in America. I wonder if they would allow a cow into the celebration, they’re letting rafter hangers and I’ve never heard of cows voluntarily hang from rafters.

    For those unfamiliar with the story in 1871 Chicago had a terrible fire, destroying most of the city, killing thousands, leaving thousands homeless. Legend has it a Mrs O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lantern which began the fire. So maybe there should be security at the door checking for cows.

    Ekis, I would love to see the mill as a larger, maybe 1:50 scale, stand alone model, with all the stops pulled out. Of course with the lord’s permission when he deems the village is completed to his exacting standards. Maybe he has some connections with the current government to find sufficient monies to fund such a project. He could be a powerful patron. It’s your civic duty to the greater glory of France.  I he won’t help, I’ll have a word with them.
     
    Back to reality. Which part gives you more pleasure, the stone work or the carpentry? Or is it just what you happen to be doing at the moment? For me it would be how I would approach the next issue while trying to go to sleep the night before.

    That’s a relief, from what I’ve heard “it's a good thing cows don’t fly, ‘cause the world is full of so much bull, it’s a good thing cows don’t fly!”
     
    Sorry, just couldn’t resist that, it took me back to 3rd grade.🤣

    Ekis, I was waiting for this one and it was well worth the wait.
     
    To totally misquote Winston Churchill, this is not the end, It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning. As far as we’re concerned you have a lot more building to do. So you best get busy! You have no one to blame but yourself.  Like in Little Shop of Horrors “ Feed me!” 
    ( I’m not sure at all if that translates transatlantically.) If that made no sense PM me and I’ll try and explain.
     
    At any rate keep up the wonderful work.
