A little update

We've been making fairly slow progress on the garden over the last few weeks in terms of what it looks like, as we're waiting for quotes to come back from some landscapers to cover some of the more skilled work - laying the stone and the raised planters, and rendering them.

In the meantime, Simon has been digging out the patio areas a little more to prepare them and make them nice and level(ish). Yesterday I was even able to help as I'm feeling much better.

Here's a picture of what it looks like now:

Our bird feeder is still very popular, in addition to the goldfinches the pair of pied-wagtails have returned, the male of which has become super territorial, and keeps attacking his reflection in our windows. Crazy bird is crazy. We also have spotted a starling in the last few days.

No video of the digging out, but here is crazy bird:
