Whilst we were away we had an agonised phone call and photo from Annette, who had promised to check the house in our absence. This is the photo:
Quite obviously, the Turf Wall that I had been building had partly collapsed into the road, caused I suppose by not being strong enough in this particular area to support the amount of infill required to make it almost vertical and straight. Annette was left with the problem of deciding what to do about it. Fortunately someone stopped and offered some cones as a warning; this offer was gratefully accepted. Annette got Clive to come along as soon as possible and between them, they managed to clear everything from the road so that traffic could pass with no trouble. The following photo shows how well they did:
On returning home, I cleared all the loose turf and soil , as shown in the following photo, and decided to go to Plan B.
What was Plan B you may ask? Well I didn't have one so I thought that I had better come up with one quickly. More news to follow, when I have some.
In the meantime, many thanks to Annette & Clive for their hard work. Why does everything happen when we are away?
