That is a great community project and service saving them loads of money
I did a similar thing for a local primary school a few years ago. Used my nephew as labourer and banksman. He went to the school and they all knew him. Then the PTA finished off the pond project

The Fen clay cracked like I’ve only seen a couple of times in my lifetime. A bloke I worked with showed a pitchfork handle down one crack and it went down nearly full length.

Starting to see some decent cracks even up here. Can't ever remember our grass looking as dead! What a cracking summer we've had

Open day at the Peterborough Cat/Perkins site. The D8 was definitely a Normandy veteran, the owners weren’t too sure about the D7. They both started and ran sweet as a nut. And before anyone asks, I didn’t drive either of them from new.
