Highs and Lows

Well I thought I'd seen it all when on Saturday evening as we were resting our sore limbs in the living room a car pulled up, a cry of concrete rang across the street and two strapping lads leapt out of a beat up escort and started to take concrete out of the skip. Then this evening a white transit (always trouble) pulled up and dumped a broken toilet and a load of other rubbish in our skip! 'he' jumped up and asked what they thought they were doing at which point they drove off waving a certain hand signal behind them. Bloody cheek! We got their number however and will report them for fly tipping.

Found out loads of useful links about gardens (as we are getting to the stage where we might be able to grow something in it) so decided to put them on the blog. The nice friendly carpenter rang this evening to say that he could do the pergola in three weeks time, yippee! Which should pretty much be the deadline for us getting all the hard landscaping in and the majority of the vegetable plants that we have in pots should be ready - the gourds need more time anyway.

And the shed appeared as well which is great although the rain had set in by the time we got home tonight so no chance of getting it up.
