Perhaps this is the last post, on Our House, Our Street.
November 6th, 2009 | 
Author: As of today’s date, this should be the last report on our roadworks on our street, as the actual work has moved well away from our house, but we still have to do a bit of ducking and weaving to get in and out.
This photo was taken last Wednesday(not this Wednesday, 3rd November, but the one before, 28th October), and shows the extent of the digging at that time. At that time, as you can see, the nearest holes were still without tops, but things will change.
This hole, a round one, is outside No. 17.
The fence is still around that hole, but we do, at least, have access to our drive. But how long will we have that fence, giving us a bit of a funny turn to get out. Mind you, the actual work going on is far enough away so that we do not get much noise now at least.
While we and our neighbours can get in and out, there are still two sections fenced off, but we don’t really mind that.
This angle shows the view as you approach from the north, or the other way to the direction that the work is progressing. You will notice, I hope, that there is a street running off our street at the barrier, and that is the way we usually have to go when we go shopping, etc.
The work will continue along the street for some time now, but at least, I will not have to advise the workers how to proceed from now on. As I say, it is somebody else’s turn, and good luck to them.

Wendy Preece - Boss the Younger
Wendy, Dennis' eldest daughter, computer and internet buff is the driving force behind getting her dad busy on the internet, all of the building of the website and blog is done by her (he just adds the content, but she's managed to teach him how to do a blog post). She will add some comic relief now and then as well as report on our day to day life at times. In Wendy's words "everyone is fair game! And someone needs to fill in the gaps when dad gets slack!"
