Stop - Go Lady by julzmaioro

Stop - Go Lady

This lovely lady is doing her job down at the end of our drive.. We are getting a major job done that us and other locals have been campaigning for, for many years.. We have a very nasty blind corner just a few metre's from our drive, and as you see from this shot it is a narrow country road with no centre line.. about 6 weeks ago there was a fatal accident, which was very upsetting, and after a few phone calls and emails to the powers that be ( the local district council) we got some action and the corner is getting the bank trimmed down so that there is vision from either side.. This lady was very happy in her work, and said how lucky we were to live in such a peaceful place,... even though she was doing a very mundane job she was making the most of it and finding the positives of it.. I said she should bring a chair.,. she said 'No everyone will think I am a lazy bugger'...
Great shot - she has an important job to do while the road is being made a bit safer. fav

Hooray for getting it fixed

Great shot and so glad the roadway is being fixed. It is always so sad that sometimes it takes a fatality to get the work done.

Babs is right. This is often the case.

Great shot. We had a lorry iverturn on our road 2days ago and the men with the stop/go signs were standing in the rain looking miserable. She looks much happier

@kelly2 We just noticed yesterday that the guy at the other end has dug himself out a 'chair' in the bank so he has it real sweet..
