Out here it's often the case that nothing is done about anything until or unless there is an accident. Sad really, we pay taxes but don't see much for them in the way of small maintenances. We do have our new hospital and research centre though and a new railway station is being built closer to the showgrounds, all are pluses for the big dollars being spent on them. <br />I hope the flower boxes and flags are put back once your bridge is repaired. I had no idea slate was so tricky to work with.

I'm sure they're down by now, since we've had a number of killing frosts. Before Christmas, they string green garlands, making it quite festive.<br /><br />Slate roofs are spendy. and heavy.
