This is the start of a job to create a new pond for conservation of Great Crested Newts. I learned today that newts travel a kilometre overland to find new ponds and they use their sense of smell to avoid ponds with resident fish (the fish kill the baby newts 😦
Clocks all working fine now – new hands, new varnish – and ready to be delivered. Tested them by hanging them on my workshop wall.
By an amazing coincidence I have 2 large clocks to repair. The first is an historic Indian Railways replica clock – it needed some dismantling, sanding down and re-varnishing. The very same week another customer brought me a clock which had fallen off the wall and broken.
We’ve only moved 5 miles away, leaving Greens Norton for Syresham. So Mervyn is still based in South Northants.
This is a site where the customer had a new home built and wanted a fence along the boundary. They arranged the tarmacing themselves.
This is the back of the job. The neighbour on this side is still in the process of doing their landscaping, so their drive will be finished to blend with the fence gravel boards.
