Did the Earth Move for You?

We were all psyched up yesterday for the start of the removal of all of the earth you've seen in the photos. Cyrille had hired a large lorry so that he could take the spoil up to the local tip. He only made 3 journeys before he wrecked the lorry! We don't know the full details of the accident, but the removal of the earth and rocks is now postponed till next week.....when he will use another lorry, but with a driver this time!

Fortunately we have now had 2 days of sun and the ground has dried out remarkably well. So Patrick has been moving the spoil out of the courtyard ready for the 'big' lorry next week.

We have also had the plumber here today, preparing the pipes for the water supplies to the downstairs bathroom. We're still a long way off, but Sue had a little senior moment, standing in the imaginary shower!
