joe90 Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Been there, done that (don’t want to do it again). I won’t tell you we have clear blue skies down here….oh I just did 😎 1
MikeSharp01 Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 It's a bank holiday so we can work unhindered although I just noticed our local BM delivering stuff to a site up the road! Sunny here also, but raining tomorrow, so think I will have a day doing something else, maybe read an improving book- EG a treatise on the finer points of ASHP standby power draw.

ProDave Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 I won't post you a picture from my window, it would only upset you. I'm off out on the boat this afternoon. Mustn't forget the sun cream. 1

saveasteading Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Working at ours today. Our ground is remarkable, and something I had never come across before. About 12m thick pure, single sized, sand, plus some bands of cobbles, as laid down by glaciers. It is strong and dense as can be see by this picture of the ground, with deepenings for columns, hand dug with vertical faces. 300kN/m2 by our tests. Ask for details if interested. 1
joe90 Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) When I lived in Shropshire the ground about 300mm down was pure sand, never found the bottom, easy to dig founds and what came out I blinded the hardcore with. What I’ve got now is brick hard clay, just tried planting some plants and I needed a hammer to break up the clods, will take years of organic matter to get it better. Edited June 3, 2022 by joe90

Me too never seen such clear definition of the layers and the distribution of the particle sizes. 11 hours ago, nod said: Sat here waiting for the rain to stop Looking good Nod.. the rain will stop! 3 hours ago, ProDave said: Yes the weather was dreadful. Dave.. you are a bad man!
SteamyTea Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 My view this morning. Bit too much bunting for my liking.
SteamyTea Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 Yes, Bourton on the Water. Usually stop there as you can park for half an hour outside the Londis. And they have a Costa coffee machine. So cheaper, and nicer, than most other coffee places. Queen's Bench needs recarving. It is a decade old now.

Have you tried that odd cafe, run by some religious group where they don't have set prices, you just donate what you feel it was worth.

Not knowingly. I would walk out with the collection tray. About time I got my jacket buttons back.
