When we moved house, our landlord promised he would have a small wall built in front of the house, to put a limit between the garden and the street. A few months later, someone turned up, started digging a foundation, left a mess and never came back. We didn’t hear anything about it
until a couple of months ago when our landlord turned up with a builder.
Today, as I was coming back from the market, I found two men working with a mini-digger, digging a foundation for a wall.
