A landlady and a team of her regulars are repainting their pub today.

Ellen Lee, landlady of the Fox and Hounds pub in High Street, Haydon Wick, couldn't afford to hire a painter and decorator.

So she has enlisted the help of her customers to get the place spruced up.

And it's not the first time that drinkers at the pub have given Ellen a helping hand.

Last month they campaigned to save her job after she was sacked for not meeting targets.
