We are relieved. The plumber has come in his van from Camborne to mend our radiator. Now it is mended – there are no more drips. There are other jobs as well – he needs to look in the loft. There is an over-filled water tank and a pipe is dripping. He must go up on a step ladder and through a hole in the ceiling (the loft hatch). There is no light under the roof. He needs to wear a torch on his head so that he can see in the dark.
