We meet again Moriarti

My injury has forced me to go a bit slower in the allotments.  I was determined to get back in the saddle as soon as possible as far as the post was concerned though.  I learnt from my Granddad when I crashed into his patio furniture whilst learning to drive that it is healthy to get back to the job in hand straight away once you've had a set back. 

I placed the club hammer respectfully in the garage and went back to mend the fence.  The process went smoothly, even with a finger out of action.  My neighbour did reply to my email in the end, and said I could take any fencing I liked.  It turned out that his fencing had the proper depth needed to match the fence, so I cut a piece of the right size and staple gunned it on the post and tied it in to the existing fence. 

I'm very satisfied with the result.  It looks very vermin proof.

I've now selected suitable posts to strengthen the fence at the end of Longottment, where the badgers and muntjaks ingress.  I'll have to wait until my finger has healed before I can use the club hammer again though.
