President Obama visits the queen.
He should have come to Brighton to see a football stadium fit for a king.
Village Way and pavements have been finished by way of a top coat of tarmac, and all the road markings painted.
Even the builders who I've got to know over the years seem to be winding down, ready for the hand over next Tuesday.
I did some Guerilla Gardening around the perimeter a while ago, just spreading a few blue and white seeds.
Some fell on stony ground....See one of the successful Vipers Bugloss!

The Queen visits Ireland.
Pre-season training for when she has to wave to people in earnest later in the year?
7 working days to hand-over.
We it be finished or not?
Buckinghams are having an end of build party on 31st May, so I'm sure it will all be completed smack on schedule.
Car park area being cleared and landscaped.
Church field has had all the top-soil removed.
Tarmaccing going on around the whole site.
Poor old trees!

11th May INSIDE SPECIAL

Thanks very much Paul H for taking me round.
When you enter the playing area, it takes your breath away.
The grass looks so green and good, it looks artificial!
This is one truly magnificent looking football stadium.
