Morning spent collecting up more leaves, thought I had finished but still there is more to come. With the heavy wind tonight I am hoping now this is really it for this year. Wildlife will benefit from all the leaves, should be warm and cosy this winter.
This afternoon through to early morning I watched specialists preparing steel beams that will form a new bridge over the M4 at Shinfield. Five sections in total with the last two biggest and heaviest at 70 tons each being lowered tonight. They formed the sides of the bridge so extra steelwork was required for the balustrades. To see these monsters dangling over the motorway before being lowered into position was something else. My thanks to the team for allowing me access and talking me through the procedure, a most interesting aft/eve.
On the way home at 1.15am I came across a major car crash in Hartland Road, two cars upside down and another smashed in some ones garden. Police arrived as I was positioning myself to turn around so thought best not to get involved. How can these accidents happen for goodness sake? Although not involved it did shake me up.
