Where will we hang our bin bags now?! Huge thanks to @_theomiller for coming to collect the parts of our Albion and begin the restoration process, and huge thanks to everyone who donated to the crowdfunder to make this possible.
Our first attempts at getting registration right and some comforting wonkiness in a 1680s book we have to hand. Getting closer in last pic!
