A not very grand opening

First thing this morning James went down to the road, opened the lane gate and closed the gate to the cow track. It's almost three weeks since the concrete was laid and we reckon it's now OK for (almost) all traffic. By the time the heaviest vehicle comes up (cake wagon) it will be as good as it's ever going to be. It's a big investment for us (got the bill yesterday!), but should last at least 40 years. Tarmac would have been cheaper and quicker, but not as long lasting. It's something Henry and I, and even James, will not have to worry about.

And the first vehicle to use the new surface? James - responding to a First Responders call during milking this morning.
