    Hi Nick,

    It's all looking great.
    I love the way your laying the bricks. It looks so rustic and cottagey.

    Keep up the good work :)

        Fence painted and wooden border thing (5" x 3" reclaimed timber from work with linseed oil and coach screws) mostly done. Just need to get some gravel in and the back garden is pretty much done:

        Trimmed back the clematis so it'll probably go crazy this year:

            The brackets and birdfeeders are up! Looking pretty good I think:

                Looking great!!!

                Teeny word of caution ... the seeds in the feeders have a habit of dropping to the ground and ... sprouting ;) :heehee: Likewise, the birds, when feeding, have a habit of dropping "droppings" on the ground and some of the contents of that can start ... sprouting :whistle: This could all make weeding a very interesting time because you'll never know what will pop up next ;)

                  Looks lovely! :dbgrtmb: Really like the paint colour too and the white brackets are a nice change from the normal black, goes well! :)

                    I made some greenhouse shelving so should be able to get growing a bit more from now on. Not the most level thing I've ever made! I blame the hangover I had at the time.

                      Now what you should have said was that it's sloping to drain the water off :heehee:

                        Exactly, its definitely got a good bit of run-off!

                        Back garden starting to fill up a bit now, still too much soil on show...
