Weekends Progress

We should have a whole series of updates this week as Simon has taken the week off and I'm taking half the week off to get as much done as possible. This weekend we managed to get the bulk of the path edging down and some of the soil cleared.

Today Simon is clearing out mor earth and hopefully getting some of the sub-base for the path down.

Finished patios and Painting

The last 2 weekends have allowed us to make some serious progress on the garden.

Simon has been turning over the ground in preparation for laying the paths - the ground having turned to concrete with everyone walking over it. That job is nearly done, with just the back corner left to do. Next step here is to add the edgings for the paths and start preparing the levels for the gravel to go down. Speaking of gravel here are the samples we have had delivered:
The top stone is very pretty but too large for pathways. In the middle are the Dove Grey pebbles, and at the bottom, the Scottish pebbles. I think we're going to go for the Scottish ones.

Meanwhile, I have been painting our walls and giving the final lick of paint to the shed. I've also started pegging out the paths vs. beds areas of the garden.
