Sunday 19th January 2014

Today we rode back to the fort to carry on with the Nissen Hut.

The first job today was to dig around the base. This is for the wood that will be put down for the base just like the plans I found on the computer.


It was very hard work but there were lots of people to help.


After lunch some of the helpers carried on digging at the top of the fort near where the cannons would be and daddy carried on painting the metal curves. This time he painted them grey. This time I got to help for a bit longer.


Jake and I then got to play for a while. I had brought my bow and arrows with me so really enjoyed it. We both made some animals in the sand on the bank. I made a cat. Daddy's friend Ashley came with his children and had a tour - I hope he enjoyed it!
