Unexpected demolition

We have been advised that we can now connect to the mains drainage at La Maison Verte. Fantastic.. just the news we had been waiting for. Mark arranged for the man with the JCB to come and dig the various trenches to connect us to the commune’s drains. The day came and by 11.30..still no JCB. We were not unduly concerned as artisans often turn up one or two weeks later than when they agree too. However, we gave him a call.. ‘ I am at chez vous (your place)’, he replied, a little indignantly.

We looked around the garden..we couldn’t see a JCB.. ‘I’ve just knocked down the garage’ he continued.

He had rather efficiently demolished a new garage at our house in the next village…
