Playtime.

Despite a forecast of rain followed by thunderstorms, the head gardener decided that enough was enough and it was time to get the toys out.

The mini-pelle was brought out and we started by skimming off the grass from the path behind the Box hedge. Fortunately our neighbour JJ wanted the turves and the topsoil to do some levelling of his garden so we were able to get rid of the 'spoil' quite easily!

Having got rid of the grass, I then cleared off about 100cm of earth and then rode up and down the path to give Sue a level surface .We also prepared for the steps which will lead up from the road to the path.

Whatever the weather forecast was, by the afternoon it was scorching again, into the 30's. The Thunderstorm didn't come until 8 o'clock in the evening.

So it's now over to Sue to edge the path in stones before we can fill it with sand and then gravel and stepping stones. Of course, she want's to keep up the momentum and have me tearing round the garden on the digger......but what about my jobs?
