On my daily jaunt passed the A10 roundabout on Wisbech Road, upon stopping I was told that Jonathan and his son had been to look today - as Mr James junior (and potentially my future employer) apparently was quite keen on the diggers, I took this photo to put on the blog.
Hope you like it.
Should anyone following the blog notice that this image is not in the same place as usual - do not worry - this is an extra - I got the fixed point image too.
Amazing though - what a difference a day makes!

Simply Ground Breaking!
Okay, so on the way home the other day I stopped off to take my time lapse series photo, but something was different. The workmen were still there digging into the ground.
One of the chaps introduced himself politely, asking who I was and why I was taking photos! He then began telling his collegues to look out for me and that I was 'okay'.
It is nice to know that I have just scored myself exclusive rights!
It was even nicer to see that lovely fen soil moving in preparation for a new store - our store to be built after so much planning and preparation.

Day Zero - The Calm Before the Storm
There will be in the next few weeks a veritable buzz of activity on the Wisbech Road roundabout on the A10 at Littleport, Cambs.
As a local resident myself, I am constantly being asked; "When are they starting?" with regards to our new build petrol station and convenience store.
Well by the time you read this you will know - it has begun!
I took a picture of the site on Sunday afternoon, which you can see below and every day I will be taking a picture from the exact same place, as a diary of the build. The image may not look much at the moment - but I am sure it will help underpin just how much of a change will occur!
Eventually, these images will make up a time laspe of the project, but between now and then I will bring you news and updates of the ins, outs and goings on, not to mention close up images of all the detail of what it takes to embark upon a project like this.
Trust me, it will be a learning curve for me to - I have never had such access to this sort of project.
We will also get updates from James Graven owner Jonathan James, every now and again giving us tit bits, facts and an inside view of how its going.
Check back tomorrow!
