It's changed a bit.....!

Pictures attached from empty field to full pods!  I love these pictures as it's easy to forget what the field looked like as the Pods have firmly made the mark and I feel as though they have always been here.  Loved watching them arrive on the back of the lorry - a defining moment for Philip and I.
