title A Giant Sand Pile, and a Walk at Thornham, Suffolk - 17th August 2013 intro There's a big pile of sand in the garden on account of the ongoing building works, which the boys are enjoying and making much use of. Then there are some crazy abseiling window cleaners working on the Shard, and Network Rail's Flying Banana surveying train is at Liverpool Street station. After that, we head out for a walk, cycle and trundle around Thornham Walks. imgc0521 The building means a great pile of sand imgc0522 Grandad sits down on the new footings imgc0523 Fred in the sand pile imgc0525 Harry fills a dumper truck up imgc0526 The side extension oversite imgc0527 The boys and their big sand pile imgc0529 Grandad and Fred look at digger tracks imgc0530 Harry roams around looking cheeky imgc0531 Fred in a digger bucket imgc0569 Nosher's old Elonex IBM-clone keyboard imgc0570 Window cleaners abseil down the Shard imgc0571 First on the train again imgc0574 A butterfly on the buddleia at Diss station imgc0580 Network Rail's Flying Banana at Liverpool Street imgc0581 Coach of the Beast, and Class 37 37419 imgc0582 The Mark 2 coaches of the survey train imgc0584 A really ancient Class 31 hauls the Flying Banana imgp3899 The front door has got its own moat imgp3900 A drainpipe runs through the moat imgp3902 Fred's on his bike at Thornham imgp3905 Harry trundles after Fred imgp3906 Harry in the woods imgp3907 Fred near the wooden dragon imgp3908 The wooden dragon imgp3911 Harry and Isobel walk the path imgp3915 Isobel and Harry roam around Thornham Walks imgp3917 A Great Tit pecks at peanuts imgp3918 Harry peers out form the bird hide imgp3921 A carved wooden head imgp3923 Fred climbs on a bear imgp3926 The gang on a tyre swing imgp3927 A load of bricks arrives imgp3928 A pallet of bricks is unloaded
