Thank you and good morning. One of Cornwall's best known coastal landmarks is getting a makeover and a new paint job.
The Gribbin Daymark, west of Fowey, has been wrapped in scaffolding for the project.
The tower, 26 metres high and painted red and white, was built in 1832 as a navigation aid.
The grade II listed tower is maintained by the National Trust, and has to be painted about every 10 years.
The Gribbin was built by Trinity House as a navigation aid to prevent mariners from mistaking the shallow waters of St Austell Bay for the deeper waters of Falmouth harbour.
The work is a complicated operation as there is no road access to the tower, meaning all the scaffolding and other equipment has to be transported across fields.
Once the refurbishment work is complete, it is hoped visitors will once again be able to climb to the top and enjoy the view from the building.

Cash seized from criminals has been used to fund 25 food boxes for people in need.
Police said 拢750 was given to Devon and Cornwall Food Action, a charity that works with food producers and supermarkets to redistribute food.
The money will go towards funding boxes containing food, toiletries and hygiene products, which officers would then distribute to people while on duty, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
The force said 82% of people the charity supported were in paid employment.

A Cornish teenager said she feels "amazing" after completing a swim across the Channel from England to France.
Lowenna North, 17, from Launceston, set off on the 20.5-mile challenge from Dover to Calais on Saturday morning.
Ms North, who goes by the nickname the Ginger Swimmer, completed the challenge in about 14 hours and 56 minutes, which she said was fuelled by tinned peaches, as well as jelly beans and jelly baby sweets.
The swimmer said arriving in France was "surreal", adding the achievement was "still sinking in".
Ms North is already the youngest person to complete the 14-mile (22.5km) swim from the Eddystone Lighthouse to Plymouth Hoe - a challenge she completed when she was 15.
She added that she had spent the summer building up her endurance, culminating in training swims of up to six hours and covering up to nine miles.
She said she had set her heart on swimming the Channel at the age of 12.
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.
