The New Access Road

Before building work can start properly on the cottage, we have to have an access that can take the weight of heavy lorries. So mid November, the road building programme started.

The grassy lane down to the cottage was ripped up - I tried not to mind too much - flattened and covered in tons of chalk chips which were then rolled down. Unwanted concrete telegraph poles, dug out from the scrub between our land and Serge's field, were used to edge the new flat, stark road.
