Rear view of Tillicks Cottage showing the completed Roof and new Weather Vane

A Detailed Shot of the Weather Vane, we decided that the Cottage Looked rather lost without a Chimney so we have replaced it with a weather vane mounted on a Tower. The Weather Vane has a Jack Russell Terrier standing proud on top of the wind direction arrow, a perfect choice made by Christy Page-Turner who has had Jack Russell Terriers here at Woodhayes Farm since 1961.
