....it's 7.30 on a Saturday night and the extended family who live across the square are building a driveway for their cars. I noticed how they were using their car headlights for illumination.

I went up in the loft and bought down a load of floodlighting and leads that I have used on some recent filming and took it across for them. They were really appreciative.

These people are hard working in everything they do. They bring colour and life into our otherwise drab surroundings.

There is a government buzzword going around called 'community'...the Bangla families teach us the true meaning of the word.

I'm glad they came to live in this country...they bring us so much.

About 5 weeks on and we have had about 8 variations on a theme of the driveway. At one time it looked like a cosmic blanc-mange ( I had to consult my dictionary ).

There were about a dozen people out there this Saturday working on the creation.
