28th November 2022 - Clearing Ground for a Polytunnel

Thought for the day :"When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison"

Weather was meant to stay fairly mild but that did not stop the rain popping in to check on our progress today with clearing an area for Susie's Polytunnel.

Up early (for us) and cleared the tunnel and put the car away ready for the early arrival of the digger and Dave and Sarah ...   and let the birdies out as Susie took advantage of me being up and having an early shower...

As the clock slowly moved on it seems that a short delay due to looking after a friend's horses meant a gentle rest in the sun - rain staying away for the moment ...

And as they arrive and the digger gets disgorged from the trailer and we get ready to manoeuvre this mini digger down the pathways passed the Ty Bach and into place - of course we stop for a cup of coffee - I mean Dammit - We are British - you can't start without a cuppa!!

But that means that when we get into place it is time for the rain to start - I get an umbrella but no-one is impressed and so we get on with the removal of the tree stumps in the rain

And so we see a master of his craft ...

Pretty Spectacular !!!

And some photos from Sarah...

And with some pictures pointing out that yours truly did not just stand watching - honest !!!

And so, as Susie cleared the Duck and Chicken runs ready for the shut down next week 
we finished the clearing and enjoyed some bacon and duck eggs for brunch....

and another cuppa - for goodness sake - we are British!

Later - popped out for some straw and wheat chaf  poultry bedding and took the opportunity to pop up to our new neighbours by South View - seems Rod (Maybe Rhod now he is in Wales) arrived last week most recently from Dorset (Sherborne) so welcomed them with a bottle of Mead and a few contact details.

Seems enough for one day ...

In other news - A crowd Funding option last year for some German Friends the "Schandmaiden" arrived today 
Will be on my playlist tomorrow ..

So here is one to keep us going 

Cheers!!
