 (From about minute 23:55 to minute 28)

The staycation doubled as a working break for Natalie and Steve, as they repainted everything from the internal walls to the trellis outside.  

Steve also put his green fingers and building ability to good use, creating a new garden space for guests to enjoy, and crafting new fencing, steps, and even a stone circle to house their brand-new patio benching.

During downtime, they revelled in all the things that make The Windmill different from being at home, such as showers-with-a-view, and soaking in the huge bathtub.
