Slating!!

The roof covering is starting to go on at last and it looks like this

Courtesy of James and his digger we now have an electricity supply from the pole(behind the digger)  to the supply box (just around the corner off the bottom right of the pic).  Trench? what trench?

He's also finished the trench - which another poor lad was digging by hand! - for the telephone cable.  Last Sunday I spent tunnelling through the hedge to make the access possible - our fence line originally went across the front of the picture and I had to 'prune out' a tunnel acroos our neighbours' land to the pole which you can see in the centre at the far side of the 6' wide hedge...  Still removing beetles from my hair...
