Footpath Work

Breaking News from Wales:

Newly arrived U.S. couple face an extra week of delay in container delivery to their Welsh home. They will have been without their possessions for 7 weeks and 6 days. "We've been through worse," the couple reported, as they await their new delivery date of June 16.


Dale has bought a hedge trimmer, so he tried it out on the public footpath that forms a boundary with our property. Our side of the hedge has been growing outwards into the footpath making access difficult. He did a great job, and has made it so much more passable for everybody. It's now easier to avoid brushing up against stinging nettle.

When our gardening tools arrive, we'll be able to tackle the fallen tree further down the footpath, the access to which looks like this.

I've annotated this image from Google Street view to show the public footpath between our two houses. The trees and shrubs are currently much more mature and taller (overgrown) than in this old image.
