BORDER PATROLS

It’s been a bumper weekend of bricklaying, barrowing and boat loads of migrants crossing the Channel thanks to the unexpected sunny bank holiday weather and as we Brits know, sunshine is not something usually associated with bank holidays so you’ve got to make the most of it.

 

A mountain of soil to barrow into the back border

Priti Patel is not the only one getting her knickers in a knot over border patrols.  Now that the other half has finished building our back border wall, he’s been busy patrolling his newly laid brick border making sure migrant cheesy-bugs don’t attempt any illegal crossings from back soil onto the lawn.  Rwanda’s not good enough for these scaly blighters he says as he flicks them over the fence into the electric substation next door with a resounding fart.  That’ll teach ‘em!

 

Applications now open for border crossings

Despite all the grumbling about bricklaying, he’s done a cracking job on the new border wall.


New retaining wall gets started


Turning the corner to join with the smaller shed


It's increased the width of the existing flower bed


Finishing off with blue engineering bricks


Joining the wall to the tiled step


Last few bricks then its done

I can’t wait to fill the area with lots of lovely flowers and shrubs, especially colourful azaleas or rhododendrons which I think would do well in this mostly shady spot.
