We have put together an album, but are unsure whether it comes out on here.
Oh well here goes nothing.

Well done you have worked really hard. :)
I love the way you incorporated the drain and path! did you put weed suppressant under that gravel?

Duke,
We put all the right stuff in and found that the weed suppressant is not all what it is up to.
Good for keeping out the perennials but after a while the path has dead matter and soil getting into the gravel and thus more weeds come back.
The grass will be lifted and turf put down in its place as it is so uneven we find that the turf and proper levelling will help in the long run.
We shall also be trying to grow all manor of things which will be new to us, not only for the garden but for the table too.
