Daily Photo of the Day : hoop-la!
Once again, the main route near which our road lies was closed for the weekend; it's really rather odd that it's taken so long to do (three weekends so far!) since it seems they've just increased the size of the roundabout (see before/after shots below) and resurfaced the roadway either side of it.
At various times during the past days there's been a loud, insistent whirring - much like a vacuum cleaner - so Lenni, Chris and I decided to investigate. It seems that, once the asphalt/tarmac has been laid, it needs to be cleaned, and a road sweeper made a slow pilgrimage from one end of the recently laid patch to the other.
The children enjoyed watching from the top of the footbridge - but work stopped briefly for tea, and I managed to capture this rather entertaining photo. Now we know what road maintenance workers do during their break!

Heaven help me when oh when will the cones leave? I get the feeling that this project is being personally overseen by the guy responsible for the town centre traffic system who just can't work out yet the best way of really messing this roundabout up yet.Remember the traffic lights further down the road at IBC/ motorbodies that were never even wired up, sat for months with covers on them before eventually being dug up and put into storage again *sigh*
