In-between working and pedalling we have almost got the front garden back to where it should be.
We started with a moss patch in February 2014 which was attacked by the digger in order to lay the new storm drain.
Build wall in June, followed by three days in September double-digging it by hand to remove debris, plastic, hardcore and rubbish before rotovating and re-grading.
A long half-day laying the turf in October, with assistance from Java.
Then wait patiently all winter, before mowing in lovely straight lines during April 2015.
We have also attacked the back with some gusto and removed the rest of the unnecessary bricks from the patio wall to enhance our viewing enjoyment of the rest of the garden.
Fitted new capping stones, re-built the steps, re-painted and re-fitted the lights.
Almost finished weeding, pruning, digging and shifting plants - In order to give us a great view from the settee in the kitchen.
We have even impressed ourselves with all this !
Work, however, continues. In-between bike rides ...
