Day 18 & 19

The garden has almost been finished in the last couple of days! The builder is coming back tomorrow to grout the new patio area and lay the turf! (you can just about make out the pile of turf to the left of the conservatory) The trampoline is now in the ground, we decided to leave the net on it for now for safety. We were going to look into crash mats for the wall but figured as we already had the net it was better. I'm sorry the photos are so dark, it was dusk when I took them! 2 of these photos were taken from outside my craft room and the other is to show the color of the new patio area. It'll all need a good clean and Mark will need to paint up the shed (!) but it's coming together nicely. I think the garden looks huge now! When I think how we were happy with the smaller garden, it was nothing in comparison to what we have now! That extra 10 foot of land has made a huge difference and it amazes me that there used to be a huge tree right in the middle!! (just to note the tree belonged to the pub next door, it was never looked after and was very straggly, we bought the land off a neighbour who originally bought the land from the brewery and he cut down the tree before we bought the land)
