'I love it when a plan comes together'

My labourer surpassed himself today and I am delighted. He used the digger to dig out the path which I had marked out for the "serpentine" bed which snakes across the front garden.

As he was so speedy he had enough time to dig out the path for the iris bed which runs parallel with Michel's barn.

I have to edge the paths before we can rotovate and eventually plant them but we have made a start.
