      Old oak railway sleepers get delivered.  These will form the perimeter of the Boule Court…

        Nice, we built a petanque piste in the midlands a few years ago for a local pub side, make sure you compact the sub base well and then use crushed aggregate rather than a sand and gravel. Makes for a much better game we found.

          Thanks. I have 6" of crushed 4" scalpings laid already.  Plan is, another 2.5" of compacted 2" scalpings, then 6 or 7 mm of 6mm to dust granite…

                                    @Madame Buttonfly and I went into the office today.  The mission was to complete the Boule Court boundary with the railway sleepers we bought.  We started to move some of the detritus in the existing "shed" and whilst the stuff was piled up out the front waiting for me to get the Land Rover, I noticed what looked like a nest.  Of course it did turn out to be a nest - a Robin's nest complete with fledglings in it.  We moved the chair, that was host to the nest back to where it came from.  We were met with two extremely agitated feeding adults not knowing what the hell was going on, so we decided that a complete retreat from the yard was the best course of action.

                                    Todays achievements.  A family of very pissed off Robins and zero Boule Court built….

                                          Post Script.  I popped back to the office early this evening to check stuff out.  Both parents are feeding the babes…..Phew....
