1st Site Visit since Op.

After a forced absence of more than a fortnight, I returned to the Jarvis Foresters site in Harpenden to see for myself how much the brickwork had progressed. Once again I had brought sunshine, at least that’s my story! Some on site reckon I only turn up when the weather’s good, but I’ll admit it has rarely rained on my visits. Even Steve Morcombe had been fairly lucky weatherwise when he generously took shots whilst I was away.

One surprise visitor to the site was a hedgehog that had fallen into the basement, but Steve was on hand to rescue it; there is not much nourishment to be found on a building site, especially in a basement! Although I did catch a glimpse of a crow finding some morsel deep within a skip, and flying off with it in its beak!

Arrays of pipes are appearing in the basement mainly but a few are reaching the higher levels, and it’ll not be long before steelwork for some of the roofing will be arriving on site.

Harpenden Site Update in my Absence

During my forced absence due to medical reasons, Steve Morcombe the Forklift driver on the Jarvis Foresters site very kindly offered to take some photos, so that there would not be a major break in my coverage of the progress on site.

I have tried to take as much care with the post processing as I would have lavished on my own photos. I trust he is happy with what I have done.

I am certainly grateful for the shots he has taken and am more than happy to give him credit for the work, I only wish I could have been there myself, but I was under anaesthetic at the time in Luton & Dunstable Hospital.
