Just finished a garden up in the smoke, well Cheam really, 8 days of mad traffic, nosey neighbours, expensive beer and leery delivery drivers.
Dry weather all the time made it bearable and I could have been home yesterday but there was a mixed grill and a few pints on offer last night as a bonus for finishing early. So up at sparrowfart this morning and back on the Island by 9 am. No access for machinery so all done by hand, all the ground dug and raked level, our style flowerbeds planted with a couple of thousand plants and half a dozen trees, nice lawns laid back and front gardens, shed built, fences put up, patio and paths layed in natural handcut sandstone. Now I can have a week off before we are off to do another one.
