The Garden Part 1 - the Somme

Here's the story of the garden broken down into a trilogy.

Firstly, it got very messy. And then the autumn-gold indian sandstone patio started being laid. And continued being laid for what seemed like 3 years. Sue, Jeremy's mum, exclaimed 'I hate it. It's the most ridiculous patio in the world. What have you done with all that lovely grass?!' She's known for her diplomatic approach when it comes to family matters, as you can tell. She likes it now, though. As you can see, Andy & co are working very hard.



Those crazy huge posts you see are for waterproof sail shades - a very good way of providing a bit of shelter. I have to say that no-one was pleased when I stamped my foot and made the chaps re-dig the meter-deep holes to move the first 2 posts 2 foot either way. However, I'm sure we'll all agree that they'll look much better that way - won't we? hello? anyone listening? oh well.



This large structure - some call it 'Ruth's folly' - is a feature wall which will have lights and planters round it. We'll be able to project onto it. It will look good. I promise (see a recurring theme??). The Culsh is quite frankly looking slightly bemused.
