Another boring outburst from the moaning man holding up the bar.
About three months ago I decided to try to construct a sand bunker on the course. Bought a delivery of sand and found out £60 doe sent go very far if you think of bunker building.
Now about two years ago a bad gale on the west shore dumped a whole pile of sand on the corner of Great Ormes road opposite st David's hospice. And there it has lain about two feet deep alongside the garden walls of around a dozen hotels and houses.
So, bright idea. Every night on my way home, off to this corner with my trailer and shovel. Backbreaking job, but never mind. I made a couple of dozen runs, the bunker was coming along, and a lot of garden walls saw daylight for the first time in two years. I did' the ask anyone's permission, but I did chat to one or two property owners whilst I was shovelling. There was still plenty of sand left in situe
I drove past there today some three weeks after finishing my shovelling and I notice that the whole corner is now completely free of sand and the pavement nicely brushed.
Now, is this coincidence that suddenly, after a two years wait, this job reached the top of the pile for council things to do?
Or --- perish the thought --- has someone in the upper reaches of Bodlondeb discovered what I was up to and thought --- we cannot have this, members of the public helping themselves to something unwanted by anyone but causing a certain amount of obstruction on the pavement. Get our team out tomorrow and shift all that sand. That will stop him.
