Back Garden Under Construction

The job started last Wednesday and should be finished by tomorrow.  I had two chaps here for the prep then the tile setters turned up. Four men have worked here up to now and they are lovely to a man. They come on time, they work hard and so far the place is looking terrific. They did warn me not to try to plant into the ground because it would interfere with drain off. I have already been out looking at wonderful pots. I guess I'll have to buy a bunch. Oh dear, more shopping.
Every housewife needs a skip





My very own gravel

Man with vibrator (wacker)

Gravel removed. Under layer prepared.

I wonder if they would deliver my groceries for me?

Expert tile setter (very good looking)






















Dave tells me he’s turning up in the morning with a vibrator. I got all excited but it turned out to be this machine, otherwise known as a wacker. At least I didn’t offer to lend him one!






Mixing the mortar - he's cute too but a bit young for me.

  1. Going to be really lovely. I think you'll use this sweet garden much more, weather permitting. Wish I were there to enjoy it with you.
