THE BRICK CATCHER

A few weeks ago an enormous lorry with a load of bricks was stuck on the narrow farm road at the bottom of the garden. From my desk I had a good view of the action. Eventually they abandoned the idea of trying to negotiate the flimsy bridge over the furrow and left the bricks next to the fence.
This morning a small farm vehicle arrived with three workers to move the bricks to my neighbour's "werf" (farm yard) where they told me they were going to build a flat next to the shed.
I watched the skillful action of two of the men who were throwing and catching the bricks to pack them on the lorry.......two at a time!!
