I love their sound as well with the little Petter engine. So…..?? Where was I ?? Serendipity. With planning to do the change to the driveway one of the things I wanted to do was retain the side bed down the side of the hedge boundary. So the plan was to put up a retaining fence, maybe three bars like an equestrian fence. Maybe some cleft Chestnut Arris rail. Some posts and support from some metposts driven into the ground. Though they can be a nightmare to drive in straight with all the best will and intent in the world. I was going to buy and get some materials delivered this week. Probably £350-400 in materials. Sunday evening I headed out to Sally’s place for dinner (chicken kebabs) and as I turned the corner 100 meters from her place, the house on the corner had a dumpster/skip out on the drive, with a load of materials in and next to it. Serendipity?? Of course I stopped up the road, walked back, rang the doorbell and asked if I was in time for dinner when the guy answered the door. He was game and said it would be ready in 20 minutes. Asking if I could raid the skip and pile next to it, after explaining that I was planning on buying what he had this week, he said “Help yourself “ VW Caddy Van to the rescue. First load. No need to kill the little van. Only 2.3 miles. I already had 5 large Metposts that I had scored from friend Kevin Kellys scrap pile. New, unused. Looking at the cost of materials, excluding20% VAT and delivery, Sunday night felt pretty good. Serendipity and eyes wide open. Did you hear me mention FREE CASH?? Sorry about the delay. Been a busy day.
