JCB and driver fae up oor close, alang oor street cleared a huge roadway here yesterday, from 1 pm to 8pm.\u00a0 Paul & I went out to wave to him as he was working outside our house and I do not think it is coincidence that we are the only house here who had their pavement cleared as well.\u00a0 A very nice man.<\/p>\n
