Touch down in Kent

 This 4 ton block is not going anywhere!

Well after the stone getting as far as Dublin, then not getting the ferry, being stuck in a yard with a haulier refusing to deliver, delivery dates changing and new hauliers found, the stone finally made its way across the water. This delay has a ilogistical impact which ripples across to the studio and results in more expense, re-booking Teleporter and crane drivers who's availability does not always fit the day or time you need. But at 4 pm on a wet and drizzley day with light fading to darkness, a 40 ft lorry squeezes its way up the lane to be unloaded by 4 blokes, a 7 ton crane and a local farmers forklift on standby, the stone touched down on Kentish soil. Nothing is ever straight forward when moving stone but at least it's all here, and in one piece.
