Not very far Down the Road.

FG works IMG_8708SSCedit by Keith Hudson, on Flickr

Yellow IMG_8043SSCedit by Keith Hudson, on Flickr

Both taken just outside our front garden.

Hope they were cleared away quickly!

Unfortunately not. The perfectly adequate pavement in the crayon shot was entirely ripped up and replaced in a five week project that took more than two months to complete. Yes some of the old pavers were broken and some of the tarmacked areas were sunk but really we think it served a use up end of year cash purpose rather than been necessary.

Most of the work was done by one man which included replacing all the kerb stones which in my mind is a two person job due to lifting heavy weight and general need to have another body on site in case of injury. I would have rejected a risk assessment / method statement based on those practices alone.

How to create maximum disruption at minimal cost to them.  Really not good.

Just got in. Took the camera and looking for trees and shade.  Too hot just now to sit here and process the results so a quick first.

I loved the shapes in these trees which I am told are in a temperate rain forest next to the waterfalls at The Devil's Bridge, Wales.
