Drive and parking resurfaced...

At the beginning of April we had the three tonnes of 4/10mm Mignonnettes delivered...

Well, at ten shovelfuls to the barrow load and numerous barrow loads together with an even greater number of strokes with the soil rake, it now looks like this...

It was a good guess at the quantity required, it was only just enough...   Now,take a good look as it will not stay like this for long... The weeds will be back despite being sprayed with a one year weedkiller that I needed a bank loan to buy!!

Such is life!

Up the Garden Path...2

and it has well and truly been a  long "path"

It was last May when we wrote about a project we had begun to revamp the path from our gate to the front door... see here  (even though we never use the front door)

Today it was eventually completed after delivery of our 1m³ of 4/10mm Mignonnettes from Deco-Stone 86

As Elizabeth is the fabric expert she laid the weed barrier...

and then spread the Mignonnettes as I barrowed them round

Once completed I gave the Mignonnettes a good degging to wash off the dust and bed them in!!! I could have waited for the rain BUT it has given it dry for the next few days!!

Now we just want some sun to enable the grass seed to grow.

The job has been on the go for 10 months and 1 day!! When are we going to edge the main drive you may ask... DON'T...
