Yesterday afternoon there was a certain amount of curtain twitching going on chez Towers, which Eric (formally known as Nigel) was very cross about missing as he was otherwise engaged on the school run.
But anyway, we had a visit from the rufty tufty Network Rail men, to clear, we presume, something on the railway bank, without Darrell even having to report anything of an over hanging or invading type nature to our communal garden or carpark which has to be a first!
However, we were able to assure young Eric, who is always greatly drawn to any activity where the wearing a protective helmet, fluorescent overalls and the wielding of noisy equipment is required ........
...... that said suitably apparelled gentleman actually seemed to spend more time opening up a gap in the metal fence ..........
...... than doing what they had been charged to attend to, a couple of buzzes and it was all over, without even the time for Darrell to go out and proffer the usual cup of tea, Hob Nob biscuit and a natter, as is usually his want, so, on this occasion we were left total strangers to what had been done.
Oh well ...... perhaps next time ..........

Nigel/Eric would have donned his own hi-viz jerkin and safety helmet, and been out there in a trice.
