When I last posted I had just completed my house move.
I had hoped to get out on the bike this week, but she who must be obeyed decreed that the garden needed sorting.
So after football on Saturday it was off the B&Q to purchase the necessary equipment and some gravel - 6 bags should do it I thought.
A lovely bright Sunday morning saw me walk the dogs early and then set to it in the garden. 3 large bush stumps needed to be dug up and 7 paving slabs removed. The weather made it hard going but come mid afternoon it was all dug up, ground levelled, anti weed membrane down and ready for the stones.
The 6 bags I had purchased didn't put a dent into the area to be covered. It was 3.30 and I wanted to get it done so I shot to Wickes, No stones that matched, but much nicer limestone chippings for a fraction of what I had paid for the other stone and bigger bags to boot. In a rush I brought 15 bags and went straight back to it.
It covered the area and looked, I'm afraid to say, a lot better than my original choice. She Who Must Be Obeyed was thrilled (Thank Goodness) but then uttered a memorable line. "It's lovely," she said, " And it will look even better when you have done the other side of the garden to match, and the fences, shed and summerhouse are painted!"
The saga will continue........
