The man himself


 We have finished the runway, as far as we can.  Concrete slabs have risen so much in price that we won't go further unless we can get some secondhand ones.

The ground is completely sodden, but we are glad that we haven't had the amount of rain that the East of Scotland has received...in one place the usual amount for November in one day.  Ballater has again flooded, but not so bad as 2015 with Storm Frank.

It has been teamwork, but it is a job to steer pirate away from overdoing it.  Luckily a friend called by for a cuppa and chat..very convenient!!

We do need an easy day tomorrow, although there is so much to pack into the next week!!

While he was doing his share of the job, I trimmed the grass back from the concrete paths and pruned the roses and shrubs.

Looks like it is all coming together nicely. Bon Voyage.

Well done on the pathway. I have about 15 concrete paving slabs of the size you need for free - unfortunately you would need to travel to Kent for them, so I guess they will remain propping up the wall here.

I admire Pirate--how hard and how well he makes things. And you too!

We could use them Avus! Unfortunately our wee car couldn't manage all them either!!
