Roofless (Ruthless?)

It doesn't take long to pull the roof off a house!

We went up to do some work in the garden first thing yesterday (Monday) morning. It was before 9am when we arrived, but to our surprise the workmen were there already -- and had half the tiles off. We were both feeling a little sad watching the roof gradually came off in front of our very eyes -- we know the house will never look quite the same again, yet it is this original form that originally attracted us to it. I think we'll always wonder whether we could have done something different with it, and perhaps preserved more of its original look...

Anyway, here are the pictures of work so far.

This is what we saw when we arrived on Monday morning....
