How our garden has changed ...

Keeping it green takes about an hour and a half each evening :rolleyes: with the hose (no hose pipe ban here :D ).

The building at the bottom of the garden WAS a shed, but needs must and all that, I am in the process of transforming it into my office, I have already boarded the inside with 3/4" boards, and insulated the cavity with 'rockwool' (loft insulation), have added 4 flush pivoting downlighters to maximize height.

3/4 of it is my office, the other 1/4 IS going to be for storage of tools and supplies for work, mastics, screw, nails, saw blades, bolts, brochures etc etc etc, but this 1/4 will be screened off with a curtain. The patio door which is the entrance will also have a curtain covering the front, to obstruct a view into there, and give a bit of privacy when I am trying to do work on the computer.


I cannot take much of the credit for the garden (not the flower borders anyway), that is down to Donna, my side is the side with the veggies (between the Office and the greenhouse). The paving I did recently (badly :D , it slopes every which way, but it doesn't help the paving slabs where out every way also !!! ) so the nipper could still have somewhere to play if it has been raining, as paving always dries off quicker, also, it is somewhere in the winter to leave the garden toys where they will not kill the grass !!!!!

My next job is to put a row of paving slabs along the border between the already paved area and house and dividing the border from the lawn (you can see where I mean from this pic:- )



also, the power supply for my office will be running under the slabs :D


So much more to do, and never the time to do it !!!

Also to add, I agree to a point about the neighbours conifers, I have offered to top and trim them, as the husband has been in and out of hospital for the last yaer with knee problems, but they do offer a nice secluded plot .... I just dont want them getting any taller. :D
