I met Mark Thompson at the site today. Mark is John-Paul Ashley's partner in the building firm which is doing the work at the castle, and he has every reason to be looking a little serious in this picture - he's just come up from another of Ashley-Thopmson's sites in the south of England where the sun was shining and the temperature 18C. Here, if anything, conditions have worsened, with a gale through last night and some 20mm rain in the last twenty-four hours. When Mark stepped outside for this picture, it was during one of the few breaks in the driving rain.
Mark's here to work with J-P on gearing up for a big push as soon as the weather breaks. J-P's been away in Aberdeen organising accommodation, in the form of caravans, for the necessary increase in the workforce, but managing a job as big as this one means that we'll be seeing a lot more of Mark over the next few months.
Ashley-Thompson's website is here.
