Easter - the start

Here's the base for the swing ... covered up for the night in case of frost ...



This is it completed ...



The soil in front is where we'll be laying turf to provide an easy walk up to the swing



Tomorrow there will be a swing on here.

The Trillium (well, one of two). We've waited about three year's for this to flower ...

And it's still not out ... but we'll be keeping a close eye on it

The curving grass path is going ... actually, it's gone ... Janet dug it up and we're laying a curving path in stone to match the patio. It's a bit of a startling contrast to the current stone which has weathered in the four year's or so since we laid it. We hope it fades to match.


These are the rock slabs to make the path.



On top of this, Janet's been busy being attacked by the Pyrocantha ... in the name of painting the fence:


It's suppose to be "Medium Oak" ... It painted on as Orange - kinda scary - but seems to be fading to a respectable colour.

In the front there're some nice things ...

The Magnolia's flowers are really cool ... This'll be fantastic when it grows to its full mature height.






I can't remember what this is ... I should - we saw one at Taverham in the week (it's the drink ... it's addling my brain - and long may it continue)
