Today Dave and his mate have arrived to put a path down in the back garden. The timing is perfect as I have a relatively free week. Also the quagmire has started to appear. Mirinda pointed out the not so red leaves of the acer, covered as they are in the mud thrown up by the poodles paws every time they go racing up the back on squirrel patrol.
I have set my good camera up in the spare room and will endeavour to take a photograph every half hour. Eventually I will put them all together in a sort of sped up garden path construction video. Fingers crossed it will work. In the meantime…here’s a taster.
I was only given a few days warning they were coming this morning so I had to quickly book the dogs into the kennel. Fortunately there was room for them and I took them up this morning for an unexpected holiday. Of course it means I’ll be without them all week. Though, with the possibility of another viewing next Saturday, keeping the house tidy will be a lot easier!
But back to the path…Dave (the guy in charge) is a real whiz on the mini-digger. Watching him getting it down the side of the house and round the back was amazing. He’s a skilful driver.
It makes very easy work of digging the trench. Mind you, the guy working for him still has to haul the barrows of earth away. A very funny moment when he trod on one of Day-z’s squeaky toys and nearly jumped a mile. Oh, how we laughed.
By the end of play, they’d dug out the entire path trench, leaving it like this:
It’s already starting to look better.
That looks great already! Now we need a pik from the opposite end.
yes I think it looks good can’t wait till its finished.
love mum
