The contractor's cabins have arrived on site. Quite spectacular seeing the first cabin being craned into place with a lot of yelling - 'left-a-bit' 'down-a-tad'. Once in place it was back down the drive to pick up another one which was placed on top - double-decker cabins! The electrician is busy hooking them up as I write this. Later today a tool-shed will arrive and then stairs and barriers and then it will be ready for occupation.
As usual at Ford Park, everything happens at once - as the first cabin was dangling from the crane, our neighbouring farmer bowled up the path with a shotgun on his shoulder asking about a dog reportedly worrying his sheep. We had volunteers and staff standing guard at all exits to prevent curious Day Service clients from getting in harms way. Other volunteers were down the bottom of the field with the golf-buggy and trailer, collecting clippings (or rather branches) from the laurel hedge on Ford Park Crescent which someone had cheekily donated to our community group. Kim was busy getting ready for a group of school children who were about to turn up to take part in an activity - and all this in a howling gale.
Now we have a lull in proceedings so its time for lunch before our Town Clerk and two army officers arrive to discuss an event taking place here on 7th May. Ah well - its good to be busy!
