We left Littlehampton after a wet end to the holiday, only to have a very wet November in Ringwood. Along with the rain were some very strong winds which brought down 4 panels of our back garden fence. This then kept me busy for a few days. In between all this Sue had to have a colonoscopy at Salisbury Hospital which gave her a good excuse not to stand out in the cold and help. To be fair she did help shift the heavy panels. The panels are up and still standing, thank goodness.
In between all this the trap door to the loft fell off and missed me by 2 feet, lucky or what! It's very heavy! I was measuring up to do a repair on it when it dropped. It was very badly fitted (screws into plasterboard don't hold) so a week later I am still fixing it. The other highlight was the removal of a neighbours' leylandii from the front courtyard. It is now lighter in our dining room and easier exiting the courtyard with the car. In the following slideshow you will see how the removal went. The blurred photo was taken as I was doing a runner as the tree was falling towards me (if you watch Axemen on Channel 5 you know what I felt like).
The following slide show is hosted by Slide.com so hope it works.
I'm going to stop there because I am having problems writing on the other side of this slide box. I haven't an answer to it yet so will stop whilst I'm ahead.
