Easy does it

This is the lane that runs past our house and this is our neighbour's electricity pole being replaced.  He will be a little disappointed at this as he didn't notice the pole when inspecting the property as a buyer nearly ten years ago and he was glad that a jasmine had grown up the pole to disguise it.  However, that jasmine also grew along the wires, weighing them down and presumably weakening the pole's foundation. 

We have a day without electricity next Tuesday, so I'm assuming that the engineers will spend the day replacing the wires.  Mrs B and I will go out for the day, an excuse for a slap-up lunch . . .
