We dig dig dig....

Today we popped down to sunny (with bursts of rain) Lenham, to help dad continue the big dig! We arrived around 10.30. Mum and I were appointed digging/shovelling while dad and James operated the digger and dumper. Nanny Jeanie got the job of keeping Henry entertained. 

Mum and I were getting stuck into levelling out the top soil so the ground is level between where the house starts and the trench ends,  while James and dad were digging trench no.3 which will turn out go be the "boot room".  Dad will have the concrete man over on Monday who will fill in the trenches ready for the bricks to be laid...... :) 

Carrying on in the rain....

Girl power! Mum doing the dumping before James got to have his turn :) 

Ruby wanting to be a part of it but not allowed as her paws would get muddy! 

It was hard core labouring but we were kept topped up with sandwiches and tea from nan. At about 3ish it began to pour down and Dad had decided enough was enough!  The ground was pure clay and we were getting a tad stuck in the mud. It was also getting slippery! So we all came in for a nice homemade chilli, a relaxing head massage for me from nan (yes I did nod off :) and more birthday cake for dad! Henry also had a piece. His first ever try. He loved it of course :D  

A great day! Always nice to be a helping hand! Xxx
