Nigel's Non Event .......

There was a small frisson of excitement at the start of the school run yesterday, when Nigel spotted a rather large lorry trailing a cabin on the back (that had a sign marked "ladies" on the side) coming down the hill and then reversing onto the bit of scrub, next to the gates to the wasteland.

It was a really strange place to stop, but the driver got out and started fiddling with said cabin. Nigel's little mind was then all off a whirl, perhaps building was finally about to begin on the site (and we'd get a chip shop (????!!!!) as well as new houses and flats) or perhaps "our" park was going to have an added convenience? 

But unfortunately Nigel didn't have time to dawdle and watch what happened next, as the safe collection of his beloved niece and nephew was calling, he'd just have to steel himself for the return journey to see where the cabin was finally left to rest ...........

Sadly, however, upon the little fella's return, there was no sign of the cabin, the aforementioned driver had most likely just been checking the safety of his load and all Nigel's pent up excitement was nothing but a non event. Let's just say he was a trifle disappointed when he arrived back at The Towers, but then nothing one of Darrell's full bodied, clotted cream rice puddings couldn't put right!  What is he like?
