WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO??
Well the driveway is in desperate need of some pot hole filling, so obviously when the concrete lorry said he had a wheelbarrow full of concrete do I want it anywhere, I naturally thought of the pot holes..... SO he kindly drove half way down the lane and emptied a wheelbarrow load.... NOT it was a river of concrete on the drive and now no one could get out, I couldn't believe my eyes. Tim had just brought his shiny new car to work too and some how I had the break the news that he would have to drive through the wet concrete!!! OMG. So i got some planks and got him to drive slowly over them to try not to splatter his car, that's one out, 4 to go.... So finally got the rest of them out, and I thought I had cracked it,, but after a couple of days Pete moved the planks for me and what was left resembled the grand canyon only in concrete on our drive, so very quietly Pete set about smashing it up to allow cars to have access over it, I slowly and quietly backed away, as if Pete goes quiet you know you are in bog trouble and the explosion is on the way. I took ant and Andy a cuppa but didn't want to venture down to the drive!! HE finally finished and this is what he looked like, splattered all over with concrete chippings!... Don't really think I am the most popular person in the world at this moment!!
