Day 50 - Grassy Knoll

Things have slowed down a bit recently since the groundworks were completed - its just me and Martha now.

Rupert lent a hand with the railway sleepers and we spent a very wet Sunday building the raised vegetable bed. I'm now in the process of filling it with what seems like an near infinite amount of topsoil...

The pier caps and coping stones for the wall arrived this week and Titch popped back to put them on for us. Very pleased, they look wonderful.

I have today and tomorrow off work to get some work done on the garden. Today the turf arrived for the lawn around 11.30 am after I spent the morning preparing the ground. Five barrow loads of weeds removed!

The lawn is now getting a thorough soaking to help it bed in, and after all that I think I may follow suit and find myself a nice, long bath!
