I thought I'd posted this here, but it turns out I posted it on me twittery thing instead.

I need some close-up photies of jointing sand being brushed in. Block paving, clay pavers, flagstones, it's not all that oimportant what type of paving is involved, just as long as I can get a few shots of the process.

I want to use a 'special' sand. It is a fully compliant jointing sand, so nowt out of the ordinary, but it has been treated in a special way which is supposed to make it more weed-resistant (it is NOT an added weedkiller - it's a physical rather than chemical change). So, it would be very interesting to see how it fares over the coming year, especially if one 'patch' was jointed using this new sand and the rest done with 'normal' sand.

Can you help? NW England sites preferred.

As much as I'd lovely a jolly down to Kings Lynn, I don't think the budget would cover petrol money as far as Stoke, let alone Norfolk!

Yeah, but that's a different product which has 'other properties' that worry me slightly.

This stuff is claimed to be weed-resistant for that first 12 months. That's it's only trick - a non-chemical weed resistance.
