He's Back!

Operations have started again in earnest with the arrival of our own digger driver. David and June are out with us for a few days to help us in the house and the courtyard.

David and I have started to create two levels in the courtyard and then we'll be able to move about the earth and stones. We've also laid the foundation for the retaining wall.

David has started to nibble into the ramp beside the barn. The intention is to remove the ramp so that you get a clear view of the garden from the back door.

But, disaster! We had a cup of tea and then the digger wouldn't start. We're hoping that it's just that the battery needs charging, but we're slightly delayed trying to organise a battery charger. Fortunately we're planning to do some wall building tomorrow, by which time I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll have sorted out the problem!
