Drove past tonight, yes it is sad, however, Pete, what's it like to see the sunrise in the morning.?
and has been mentioned before, those on St Margaret's drive will be able to grow something now.

>> Pete, what's it like to see the sunrise in the morning.?

Funny you should say that - it's possibly the most obvious change since the hut thing (where the TV cameras were) was pulled down. In our middle room you couldn't see the sky except when you were stood right by the window. Now you can see the sky from anywhere in there.

The other thing is that the land on our side is a lot higher than the other side of the stand, so we won't have the new houses looking directly at us - so we'll keep our privacy - and they won't have to look into our loppy back yard...  :)
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Not much left now, just a few bits of outer fencing (they can't touch these because of the wildlife that lives in the ivy), the lighting towers and a bit of land leveling to do.

I spoke to the chap in charge of the demolition the other day and he said they were coming to the end of it and that soon the last of the fencing would be removed.

The really interesting thing to me is the view - there are whole streets and major buildings that have been hidden for over 100 years that we can see from our upstairs windows - and with the tv camera "hut" gone, our gardens and back yards have never seen such light.

Dependent on how well the new houses sell, it will be just a memory in a years time.

Trying to get back on, but since I went down to working 3 days (sorry, turning up for 3 days) I have never been so busy.
Am involved in 3 volunteer projects, playing golf again and started Crown Green Bowling, never been so busy.
