Taking shape

A slow start to the week suddenly developed into manic activity and the shape of things to come is suddenly emerging from the mud.

We have had the plumbers reconnecting the gas supply, electricians finishing off laying the main cables, carpenters putting up the roof edging, pool suppliers completing their pipework, massive machines to build roads and the builders preparing the terrace of the pool.

The last three weekends have been non-stop trench work and the bulk of the drain and cable work is now mercifully complete.

The giant machinery has now been brought in to create the road to the bottom field and will then tidy up the rest of the roads on the site - which have disappeared under a layer of mud.

The site is now officially open and we have one motor-caravan (without electricity as we are waiting for the electricians to solve a problem) plus some brave members of Richard's family here to help out.

The temperatures are due to plummet from tomorrow and we are finally promised snow!

Well done both of you! There must be a break coming up shortly. The site looks great and I am looking forward to being with you in May. Meanwhile we are in arctic conditions here and I am off to the UK to collect the new van next weekend.

Yours,

Bruce

Hi you two, just as Brucy said well done for all your hard work. You must be ready for a holiday. Dave said he would love to be there in all the mud and work. See you in June.

Love
