| The arrival of the timber and roof covering is preceded by a short ritual on the evening of the new moon. Permission to proceed with the closing in of the frame is quietly sought. I circumnavigate the walls, light incense, stand within the open structure and watch the last of the light drain from the sky. |
| The roofing work proceeds unhampered. The space suddenly becomes more intimate and focussed. The walls appear more substantial, the windows more alert. We stand around like curious children or sit with cups of tea and wonder where all this is leading. |
 |
| Our destination is quickly revealed. It is right where we are, in the Here & Now. We redouble our efforts. Nothing seems too hard and progress is substantial. |
| The enclosure offered by the roof places the focus on the very space we occupy. We bathe in this delight. |
 |
| James Henderson’s workshop allows us to focus on the plastering. The clay displays a whole new side of itself lending the interior a new character. The lowering sun probes this for answers. |
| Suddenly however, it is time to close this sweet EconoSpace to journey to its companion in Ireland. |
 |
| There, more plastering and character await revelation. |
