Renovation of The Square

[Sparky]

Hi Bluestar i am sure it will all be fine by the time you arrive. There has been many occasions when i have thought "that will never be finished on time" but the Spanish do have a knack of pulling the rabbit out of the hat.

It looks as though the work is being concentrated on the square at the moment,as the pipes are to be laid right along that road. I suspect they will endeavour to finish the square before the season. They have removed a couple of palm trees this morning which as far as I am aware were alright so one imagines they are also preparing the garden areas for something new. Will keep a watch to see if any of the other trees are removed.

Yes Lollipop hubby said about the trees, i don't know if they were infected or not but they looked quite healthy . Oh well!! i suppose you have to break eggs to make an omelette , must say though i was surprised that they were working in this awful weather.

I was quite impressed about that and also that they have perhaps removed the trees rather than complete the works and then find they need to. I hope they will replace with something not prone to beetles!!

Hi guys, i have uploaded some pics of the work onto my Flickr account, will add more as and when. Here is the link Renovation work in the square PP - a set on Flickr

Its so sad to see the trees gone

Thanks for the pics Sparky.

Informative but heartbreaking at the moment.........looks like a bomb site and the grey/wet weather doesn't help.

I'm sure it will turn out for the best in the end though.

Thanks sparky although those pics didn't really cheer me up!!

Hopefully they know what they are doing and all will look great when they've finished the work!

Oh dear!!!! sorry guys i didn't mean to depress or worry you i just thought it would be interesting to have a "during and after" record .
By the way, Bonyslad, no sign of WMDs yet.

Its ok Sparky, its just a bit of a shock seeing it like that, please keep the pictures coming, as you say before and after. The weather was also a shock, some of us summer stalwarts wouldn't have seen it like that, although I am starting to doubt your weather reports, perhaps far from being a warm and sunny winter it might have been like this all the time

Ditto to the above comment......



It will all come good in the end !!!

Sparky,

Thanks for the photos , it's great that you can update us in this way.

Don't relax on the WMDs , there might be more clues in this weeks edition.

That's why I will be watching in extra slow time

Thanks for the photos you work really hard for us all. I remember when there were no fences and my kids played football with the local kids all round the square I hope it's like like that again.
