The copper beach around the pool is straining at it's netting. Anthony S reckons we can remove it in September this year and start training it to bush out.

Willow hedge


Whilst we were out watering the willow hedge, we popped into next doors garden to have a look around their building site. I got caught as the owner pulled up in his car..... He's a nice chap though so we ended up talking about fruit trees and this hedge!

Vegetable patch (to be)


This is the area that we have pencilled in for the vegetable garden. Anthony S has sent us some green manure seeds which will add to the goodness of the soil (I have a lot to learn). We'll be planting these in September after rotorvating this area. We will be building raised beds for the veg and I have just emailed Jamie Oliver to see who built his wood burning outdoor oven.. I WANT ONE!

Moroccan table is alive


The table is up. It took Kevin and I a good half an hour to get the top from out of the farmhouse to the patio - it is made of concrete and weighs a tonne (nearly)

More lavender - kitchen garden


The lavender in the kitchen garden is looking good (although no water leak here so not as good as in front of the farmhouse)

Flower pot


Anthony B has hidden the pipework for the water feature using a planter.. He's even planted flowers in it. No one has crashed into it yet!

Gates


The gates have been tidied up - they used to have all of the trunking showing where we could add the automatic bits. We have had all of that tidied up
