After weeks of NOTHING happening to the house and garden, two developments this week, though neither of them particularly rewarding in terms of the finished product.
Today we have Mole Engineering burrowing a hole under the front garden to replace the water pipe that connects us to mains up on the street (if you click on the photographs, they come up bigger). Their work is supposed to be 'trenchless' so I was surprised to see them unloading a spade this morning and that looks suspiciously like two trenches they'd dug. Still, I'm not bothered about the lawn and it's half the price quoted by the (distinctly trenchy) utility company, who still want £60 to come out and inspect that the relocated water meter has been finished to their standards.
Tomorrow my brother-in-law arrives with some tools to start laying hard standing at the top of the garden. The kids are having a playhouse and it's already got a name. I'm secretly plotting gingham curtains.
