This is . . .

. . . as exciting as it gets in our village.

Last year some new people moved in across the road, into a house incidentally that was at one time the coach house for the big house further down the road. They are now totally transforming the garden and there is a lot of activity going on towards this. Today I watched from my window as a huge sack of something (not sure what, I'll have to find out) was delivered. I love watching these cranes as they perform the most delicate manoeuvres. What a skill it must be to control one in such an enclosed environment.

In the background of course, the now famous Dufton Pike. And just look at that sky. We have had the most glorious sunny day and everyone seems to have been doing things in the garden - except me! I have hung an awful lot of washing out though!
