Progress

The garden progresses. Yesterday Linda, our home help, came. It has to be admitted she didn’t get as much done as usual as she was distracted by the urge to see what had happened & was happening outside, on top of finding it almost too hot to work.

Since she was last here she was amazed to see almost all the fences are up. The start of a brick wall has risen across the part which is very near the house. A couple of giant soakaways have been filled with rumble. Soil is being levelled in the main part of the garden. It’s beginning to look as though we’re getting somewhere.

It was a real joy to come home yesterday after our escape to collect the Fox’s new glasses & visit to the golf club to find an empty drive. There was no skip full of tree roots etc. filling it.

It’s all change now. At 7.20am a wagon-load of stone chips arrived. Once more the drive is full. A positive white mountain stands there. I gather it’s something to do with improving the drainage.

The work just keeps going on but at least there is some sign of progress, a possible end in sight.
