April's fool.

I've done it. My arms ache, my back is complaining, my legs are wobbly (what's new?) and I am utterly spent BUT I've done what I set out to do. I'm a real believer in doing what I say I will and, much later than I had anticipated I had finished the last of the planting and came straight to the laptop because quite frankly, if I don't tell you about it straight away I think I may be fast asleep....., nope, I'm going to fall asleep.

Here are a few photos to tell the story for me.Give it three months and it will look more natural. I hope.

(Above and below: Before I started the work)

 Halfway through the work, the slate has been removed by hand, the ground dug over and two mahonias removed (and planted in the back garden.

Rockery stones moved and replaced before the plants are added and everything is given a good watering.
