Hi All. I put on an extension 4 years ago. One storey, Pitched roof with velux. I did get some cracks inside that i didnt worry about. As i assumed they were Settling cracks. They have not got any bigger or wider since 07. but today by chance i noticed a crack on the plaster on the outside wall roughly where the inside crack is. SOme pics attached on my flickr account

Any thoughts ?
The Outside crack runs from near the base of the wall up to the eaves
Would these pictures suggest the actual concrete blocks inside are cracked? Or am i just looking at shoddy plasterwork that has cracked due to the recent freeze? I never noticed the outside crack before. So i do think it has developed in the last year. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated
