Things have been getting a little messy around here but it's all for the greater good! Grandad's been 'making a mess' according to Poppet, who has been keeping an eye on him. The arrival of the digger was a very exciting event for Poppet who has been watching all the developments in the garden with interest. Of course her own little digger had to join her while she watched him work.

She even got a shot on the digger with Grandad, which she was a bit unsure of at first, but at the same time fascinated.
Daddy got a ride on the digger as well (not on Grandad's knee though), and managed to not hit any water mains! Whereas Grandad the experienced professional hit two in one day, but this just added even more excitement to Poppet's day!
The building site is set to continue for a few more months as we get an extension built so there will be lots more excitement in the garden in store for the girls (and mama who loves seeing the progress!).

ReplyDeletehaha I was too much of a wimp to have a go! x
DeleteExciting times there! So sweet she watched with her own digger. My dad's business was repairing JCBs when I was little, so my brother and I had the fun of riding in plenty of them and 'helping' him to drive them and lift those buckets!
ReplyDeleteyeh it was so cute! when the digger was dropped off she just ran to get hers and held it up in the air. ooh sounds lots of fun, thats a great childhood memory!
DeleteOur children love the tractors on the farm but always get excited when the big equipment arrives for major works! I bet she was thrilled to have a ride with Grandad - hope all goes well and I can't wait to see how things develop. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeletePoppet is yet to realise her dream of a tractor ride! She would love Coombe Mill I think. All going well so far (apart from the 2 burst water mains!), foundations all done now, next phase starts in 2 weeks! x
ReplyDeletewoah that is too cool. My son got to try a digger at Brands Hatch this weekend, but having one in your garden is something else _ i think I might be quite excited too.
