December snow news and a bit of line dancing...

The rest of the trees went in just before the frozen heavens opened and Winter arrived for the rest of the month! Under the white stuff is our elusive public open space and the only bit that needs topsoil and seed is the corner we're all hoping to use for the community garden.



A fanTASTic example of how modern builders communicate can be found by following the straight line of trees up the side of Travis Perkins' fence planted by one company. As it reaches the slope it joins the straight line of lollipop trees planted on the top section near the sports area by the other company. So that's easy to arrange then. They both had the same Plan from the Council after all. That's the large piece of paper which shows a four-sided box of trees bringing a sense of completeness and order to our charmingly haphazardly shaped new park. Lovely.



Yes, two truck loads of blokes came on different days to plant one row of trees. Or did they? Maybe it was dark on one of those days. Or maybe it was foggy. Or dark and foggy. Or dark and foggy and covered with millions of tiny but very opaque fairies. Wearing flared trousers. Perhaps the Earth's axis tilted just a little too much. Or could it be that one builder's plans were folded slightly differently? Go check out some choice precision planting...

When it's all finished and lovely, we probably won't notice!

Hope you've had a great Christmas and here's to 2011 being the year we finally get our park!
