The new drive is not something we were especially wanting but it became a condition of planning approval for the renovation and extension of Holly Cottage.
There were three or four old stumps to remove but the digger made quick work of them!
The contractors arrived a couple of days later and within a few hours made a nice job of the new kerbs and working entrance to the drive.
By the end of last week we had excavated the temporary area of the driveway and laid the roadstone base.
One ahem? "minor" job that faced Hilary and me was to move a very old Rhododendron which grew very close to the old garden wall (now demolished). We didn't want to lose this lovely old shrub so, using the digger we eventually managed to lift it out of the ground and move it to it's new position a few meters away. What a struggle.......
Triumphant but exhausted at the end of a very long day!
Jon.
