The Paving Project: day 2

Spent the morning cooking lunch and afternoon tea for James and Jo while the Paving Project continued apace outside. Sam and his Unnamed Off-sider (and a rather charming - if large - Labrador X puppy) arrived early and continued removing soil and clay before spreading and tamping down roadbase. The large pile of roadbase has been removed entirely from the driveway, to be replaced with a pallet-load of charcoal-coloured pavers.

pipe is now that the roadbase has been spread)

in the dirt marks a pathway of steppers
