The culvert has gone!

Let the water run free; the culvert has been removed! Thank you so much to all the diggers who turned out (and the sun which made a surprise appearance) to haul mud, rock, bricks and concrete. To our surprise we found that the concrete pipe had been put inside an older (possibly Victorian) brick culvert. We’ve left the bottom half of that in place. Within two hours we were finished and we tucked into fabulous pasties (from The Larder) and cake (by Barb). A job well done!

While the vegetation around the stream recovers please keep away from the banks.
