Finishing the Football Pitch

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Hey guys and girls

Its been a few weeks since we started growing our very own piece of Old Trafford, and now its time to finish the pitch off.

Football Pitch

It needed a final trim

Finishing off the pitch

We think it looks pretty cool. Its still growing now and will need the occasional trim, but the finished product looks fantastic and will last ages.

If we can do it, you can! get your own here

Cows on the Loose!

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Its been a little dramatic here at the mighty box today. After yesterdays blocked drains drama, today, we were visited by some local cows.

They’ve excaped from a local farm and were having a great time milling around the village and eating someone’s garden. They were eventually ushered home by a few farmers and helped by our very own Barney!

The excitement never stops here!
