Tiny pine seedlings are growing around the biv. We didn't have time but it would be a good idea if someone cut them while they're little. There's a saw up there but secateurs would be easier.

This is a tiny doll's house-style accommodation. The door is 1600 mm high. Bunks are compact, with some gymnastics required to access. Woodburner is shoe-box size, but no shortage of wood around. Two inhabitants would need to be close friends. The single small louvre window has opaque blades. Made from sandwich panel. It's cute.

As of early May, 2021, the stream below the hut (where water is gathered from) was a mere trickle.
