The brief was specific, the work force came in from Mineral on official godparent duty and the consignment (aka reclaimed) supplies came over the fence. This was an amish-style affair with pit digging involving major root and rubble removal, closely-monitored depth surveying (enough that getting to the bottom should be a challenge - 1ft aka 0.3 metres) and a delicious, not quite shared, meal of French lamb and a cashew nut bake for the vegetarian.
For those who might be inspired, we are now 60 bags (50lb/23kg each) into the process of creating this 'sandbox' and pondering the wisdom of its scale (6 x 7 foot/1.85 x 2.2 metres) - however the kids, plus neighbours can be accommodated with ease and poor brown dog (a once stylish doorstop) is routinely buried. Taunt muscles in workforce anticipated, pending recovering from aching limbs.
