Changes in the garden


Over the last few weeks we have been making changes to the garden, including demolishing a crumbling stone staircase, removing a concrete flagged path across the lawn and returfing where the flags were. We had a few exciting moments (are you sure that's what the instructions say?) erecting a summerhouse at the south east corner of the garden where we can sit in the evening sunshine and enjoy a G & T and a good book. Well, that's the idea anyway! We've still got quite a bit of work to do including paving in front of the summerhouse with old stone roofing "slates", creating a new border and laying some more turf. Then in November we will plant a beech hedge to hide the summerhouse from the road. We are enjoying the work very much.
