A little progress ....

A little progress has been made in the back garden; there has been a little delay mostly due to the cold weather; the contractor had to come back relay a couple of loose paving slabs and replace some pointing in the path.
 
Also the pile of old split logs has been disposed of .
 

Currently trying to sketch out some track/garden plans ....

Tidying up and clearing away ...

The weather has not been too good over the last couple of months, either too cold or too wet; however I've managed a couple of sessions on the weekends and got some things done; first was to get the last bit of the gravel area properly edged - how it was before
and after - much neater
could do without the small lake (two days of rain) ! - drainage works still needed - probably put in a small soakaway - or maybe a proper pond. The bulk of the buildings are tidied away some in the garage but most up on the paved area by the house...
After clearing away the ornamental rocks we'd used to one place I found that I had a rock border ...
Have dug out the wooden split logs used to edge the old railway line, work has started on digging over the ground...stopped by the return of the rain today ...
All the old rotten split logs now removed and awaiting disposal
At last a splash of colour in the garden the ornamental blossom tree has started to flower ....
