Work - and play - in the garden continues ...
The pavers have reached the southern edge, and have been finished with a wonderful egg-shaped curve running from the wiggly bed to the Solarium - made of found edges, rather than cut and shaped, which creates sharp sides. The Maistro really is a maistro!
Dave and I continued work on the 'rebar' (reinforcing rods) structure over and around the tanks by the bank. Twelve uprights for the twelve vines to grow up (we hope). We will get bamboo covers to lay on the top until the vines grow up. This is to shade and protect the water and the barrels from the sun.
The wild lands of the garden are currently awash with anemones, clustering pinkly and staring at the sun.
Possibly a rash decision: a warm evening after a hard day, relaxing with Dave's home-made ginger beer by the pond. The first bottle wasn't particularly rash, but this is Dave bringing the second bottle ... Oh dear!
The next day, we were a little the worse for wear, and I was happy to sit amongst the stone chips gently scrobbling them up into the barrow.
But I did manage to finish off the rough stone steps down the bank under the washing line. Dave was busy finishing off the overflow piping into the bank tanks.
