I got back from the Antipodes last week and ever since then, the weather (and air temperature) here has been worse than the Australian and New Zealand winter! Over there it was about 15 degrees C and back in Blightly it's been only about 10-12 degrees since I came home. It's supposed to be almost Summer here: yet as I write this in the office in Ripon, it's hailing!
On the technical wood front: some interesting stuff gleaned last week at the UK Timber Grading Committee in London. The Harmonised European Strength Grading Standard - EN 14081 - continues to loom ever closer: now brought forward to 31st December of this year. So all you Building Inspectors, Clerks of Works and so on - not to mention Architects and Structural Engineers - had better be on the lookout for properly graded and correctly-marked structutral timber, from Jan 1 next year! Ask us at Woodexperts for more info.
