Tuna mayo walls

We've had some greatly appreciated assistance over the weekend and now are making real progress.

Lime and hemp plaster a go-go.

This stuff is great - totally tactile (I have been moulding window corners with my hands), smells great, insulates, soaks up carbon dioxide, is a nice colour, and just feels right for the house - which is important for me.

 First coat on the fireplace, with kitchen in the back.

Kitchen showing tile back frame and the final coat, with the first coat to the right of the window.

Chucking it down so nothing in the garden at present - we're concentrating on the gite as we're both sick of the sight of it now!  However, I do have early spuds, garlic, onions, beetroot, turnip, salad and our polytunnel crops all growing away - well, germinating...
