    hi been a bit busy for a couple of months so not much gardening is getting done, our building project has finally got out of the ground a largish conservatory.

    Have a good builder who is doing everything to keep me and the council happy, council and uphill drains have kept the bank busy as well.
    Footings went down to 5 ft and 19 tonnes of cement, drains were a real mess so we ripped them all out.

    The image below is before we dug down to 5 feet

          Yes an odd shape but we wanted a consevatory and a side extension, so when this came up I grabbed it a snip at £300 and like new as well.
