Small Steps
Judith | 11th March 2016
Thursday started grey and damp but soon brightened up and turned into a pretty nice day. Adrian and Tony were here by 8.30am and work resumed on the first set of steps,

After what seems like a lifetime of digging up old concrete (and there’s still loads more to do) the consignment of new concrete arrived on Wednesday morning as planned.
