We have drained the pool to investigate just wear the water is penetrating. Not an easy task. Of course the point of entry is very difficult to access.



Today though we start laying the top surface to the road in to our house and parking areas. 'Tout Venant' is quarried locally. We have 300 cubic tons being delivered at the top of our road which I and one of the other guys will ferry backwards and forwards. We start at 8am.

My second delivery and we have a good routine going doing the circuit in 15 minutes including loading and drop off.

The front of our house as it has never looked before - like it has new carpet! no scaffolding, no big holes full of water - lovely.



Thijs and Ali continue to investigate the leak!


Friends have rallied round which has been great, David & Jane have come to sort our pots!

Karen, in between painting organises the all important lunch.

Ludo flattens our driveway !


Lunch , no matter how much we are up against it, remains the most important part of the day. Thijs , in under pants! holds court around the site microwave which despite being run over and left out in all weathers still works!


And the team of gardeners , exhausted by there mornings work, take a late lunch, keeping cool under the Olive trees.
