We've never seen anyone other than ourselves riding in the woods with a permit to do so (although there are apparently seven people in the area who have them, and I can only name two). We've also never seen the Forestry Commission person, although we did once see a car.
We were all rather surprised this morning, then, when we met her while we were riding in the woods: they're about to start some logging work up there (which I knew, because Not Very Next Door Neighbour had told me). Hopefully it won't be too disruptive for walking the pooch, and hopefully moving the machinery around won't do too much damage to the nice canter tracks....
(I think she was quite surprised to see people riding with permits! If they're going to be doing work up there, though, I dare say they'll be pulling people up if they catch them off the bridlepaths without.) |

We need to buy some white spray paint

This morning, while we were riding, we saw a white van with a flashing light on the roof and (it was quite a long way off) a red and white logo on the side, which I guessed was the Kent council logo, so we thought it might be the Highways Man checking the roads.
When I went out to get my legs waxed, I saw that it had indeed been the Highways Man: he's spray painted some (but, naturally, see subject line) not all of the potholes on our road. Of course, all this means is that he's going to tell the local highways people that they need to get to work, but it's a start!
I also had a slight ethical dilemma: the girl who I used to see at the salon left a couple of months ago with no explanation, which was a shame as I really liked her. I found out from the girl I've been seeing since that she's now working at my hairdresser, which is much closer to home. On the one hand, it would be more convenient to switch, and quite possibly cheaper. On the other hand, I do rather like the new girl, and she is slightly quicker. Plus, I often have a wander around Canterbury to do other shopping before / after. I think I'll stick with the current place.
At lunchtime, Mike had an email from the people who're replacing some of our fencing: they'd had a cancellation, could they come today? I got home to a bit of a change: all the old fence is in a big heap, they've taken out the rest of the leylandii along the drive, and gone away for the day leaving a mini-digger in the stableyard. Hopefully, it's mini enough that GB won't object too strongly to it! |
