Lucky for us, a guy in the village has this small digger, he is away soon for Christmas, but came over for an afternoon to level the base, although it was not bad, it was sloping away from the barn/field and we wanted it to slope towards the barn/field .....Also note the few Heathers on the bank, and what you cant see is loads of Irises on the bank too...i will try to remember to take pictures in spring...

Unfortunately both Dave and I failed to film the digger driver break the concrete water tank with his "Marteaupiqueur" ( an pneumatic hammer attachment for the digger ) so this is just after it is broken up!
