Drive drive drive

Work on the drive has been going on for some weeks (months). We recently had another very heavy rainfall and work so far successfully stopped further damage, which is GREAT.

This isn't actually the drive but the edge of the lawn got mowed in the same push to try to bring the sides of the drive under control so that weeds etc don't block the drain.

This doesn't look bad, but there is a lot of water flowing down this wheel ruts. There will soon be another drain to stop this flowing so far - the further it goes the faster it gets, plus it picks up more water on the way. You can see the ditch is doing a great job of taking away run-off from the roof - it has just been dug out.

This is the first drain and you can see it is almost overflowing. The soon-to-be new one mentioned above will help with this.

Still a lot of work to do...
