New drain behind the barn, being filled in.
Dave really getting the hang of it!
And breathe.
New driveway is in a temporary state as large stones needed on the slippery mud.
Wall around this garden piece will start on Monday, maybe i can get some veggies in after all!
Hedge is growing nicely, must be the rain...
Dave gets instructions on digger use!
He feels confident and raring to go... .he has constructed a huge sieve to go over the trailer, to seperate the biggest rocks off for stone wall building..
BUT....
Next day...... RAINπ¦π¦π¦.... no chance just too muddyπ
Just put in a basic foundation to provide somthing solid to build a stone wall so we can level off this bit of garden and provide an edge to the drive.
Continuing installation of the drain to the top of the land, to take some of the water when we get heavy rain.
"A bientot, Pet" we are already getting offers of cheap labour from England.
Seriously though, our friends Simon and Julie were staying at their holiday home in the village, and Simon offered to help.
Before and after..
With a lot of luck, we might get a vegetable garden this year after all!
One of many more loads of soil being removed.
Filling in behind the wall.
Then in the afternoon
Another trench, another drain!
If any of my pictures are different, I'll put them on too.... But of course you will see those firstπ
