Turner prize winner?

Late last week I collected 120 bricks from the village of Staunton, Gloucestershire, to make a base for our daughters shed which she'll be getting for her Birthday on Thursday, but don't tell her, it's a secret !
What I hadn't thought of was that these are old Victorian made bricks, most of them anyway, and they weigh about 4 times as much as a modern brick. This meant two trips with 60 bricks each trip, Rover 25's are not made for heavy haulage but it hasn't done too badly over the years.
This Blip is after clearing and levelling, sort of, the ground and laying a base for the shed, which is at an allotment by the way.
It will have a bit of a porch as well hence the odd shape but, if there's enough bricks, we'll fill it all in so the porch has a brick floor as well.
Must take my spirit level with me to check it though, it's a bit higgledy piggledy!
