do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
ok, can anyone remember rolling thunder storms? I lived/live in the Trent valley and as a kid can remember thunder storms that came from the south all the way up to the Humber and then came back from the North to the South they would do this multiple times in an evening, hasn't done it for decades now. I asked my dad if it was just me remembering things wrong and he said no he remembers it all to well.
often used to get them roll up and down the Usk valley ... not so much these days though :rolleyes:

Started hammering down while I was bringing this soil in yesterday afternoon. Didn't stop until early hours.

Got most of it tracked in and sealed but the bits I couldn't get the tracks on were a bit mushy this morning 🥴
