Step Gently

The weather, although unsettled, is continuing pleasant enough to allow outside work. Having previously prepared the wooden edging for the 'Iris walk', I've been working on that when I can. The Head Gardener was very pleased to see me laying the stepping stones that run up the centre.

I've set about a third of the stones, using a dry sand and cement mix (we saw it being done like this on one of a million building sites in the UK during a previous life). Once I've got all of the stones laid, we'll 'fill' the path with bark chippings.

Sue continues to move barrow-loads of soil whenever she can; I don't know where she keeps finding it!!!
