Holes in the field

For the past couple of days, we’ve been watching some large holes being dug in the field at the end of our garden.

We like living next to this field – Cambridge is quite built up and we’re lucky to be living on the edge like this. So, we’ve been curious about what’s going on out there. Have Time Team come visiting to see whether there’s an Iron Age village or a Roman fort down there? Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s quite that exciting – there are plans to build a housing estate on this field in the next couple of years, so we suspect that they’re simply looking at the underlying geology :-(

Either way, that’s a lot of very pretty, different-coloured piles of earth out there!

Giant moles?

Hey, if I blur my eyes, and cross them while looking at your photo, I see the image of Jesus laying on his side. Call the BBC! This could be your path to preserving things just as they are, stalling the construction development, and boosting other’s faith in one fell swoop! ha ha.
