The Garden

We're having the garden remodelled. Gone will be our predecessor's fruit bushes, water features, concrete path and slate-covered ornamental areas, instead there will be a play area covered in bark chippings and a lot more grass.

This is what it looked like at the beginning of the week (actually, what it looked like in February, because I forgot to take a photo before they started):-


This is what it looked like at the end of the first day's work:-



This is what at looked like at the end of day two. Bit tidier (the skip turned up on this day), but still waiting for the turf:-



And this is what it looks like with the turf down:-


As you can see, the bark chippings are ready to be spread out at the end of the garden, and I'll post a shot of the marvellous climbing frame that Doug is going to build there over the weekend once its completed (sometime in July, probably!).

the before picture - didn't I see it in an episode of Garden Force? a water feature for Charlie, a concrete path for Tommy, and plants for Alan.

I guess they didn't do such a hot job on their weekend.

there was indeed a water feature - when the gardeners excavated it, there were about 8 frogs underneath, who promptly hopped off into next door. Hope the neighbours aren't scared of frogs.....
