If we need anything like that doing we enlist D's help with his tractor, which has a "JCB" attachment on the back.<br /><br />Last time we dug through a waterpipe, which was pretty dramatic (instant water feature).Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-9273953578052968422012-04-13T07:26:39.776+01:002012-04-13T07:26:39.776+01:00I know, Susan.
