At last!

Yes, the moment you've all been waiting for: work finally starts on the replacement jetty!
5th March: This sign had been up for a while now, but no visible activity
5th MarchThen your hawk-eyed blogger noticed a new portakabin and groups of people, arms folded & chatting - always a good sign! 
7th March: Already two pillars removed from the last jetty 
8th March: More pillars removed but look how big the tide is! 
8th March: Five pillars resting quietly waiting for the tide to go out 
9th March: How's this for a balancing act?
9th March: Seven down, one to go
9th March: See how far the tide has gone out? Number seven being pulled out extremely slowly
9th March: Beautifully warm in the spring sunshine
9th March: Hopefully the Inter-Iles boats will once again be leaving from here before too long. Save your pennies!
............................................................
If you're very well-behaved I'll do an extra post tomorrow to show the last 
pillar being removed - exciting stuff!

hope they make the jetty stronger this time. We have just got back from a week in Malta. Last night the sea was incredibly rough. We had a sea view room next to the prom. Waves were banging and crashing all night. We thought the french doors would blow in(so did the hotel staff.)It was bad enough to knock la Tranche down again.
