• Oh well, today's planned finish of the sleeper steps project didn't happen, due to one of the finest client fiascos of all time. I shall try to explain on my long drive to Exmoor tomorrow. Preferably not from behind the wheel of a bloody great pickup.

    In the meantime, I have left the lovely Mel in charge of Sammo, 2 tons of type 1, 2 tons of ballast, a ton of sand, a ton of sandstone and a lot of expensive power tools. What could possibly go wrong?

    This is the landscaping equivalent of giving a gorilla a loaded Uzi.
