Ever Changing View

When we moved in last November, there was little of interest in the back garden, and although things have obviously emerged through the year, it has always been obvious that we needed to give the whole thing a makeover. The plan has always been to do nothing for the first year and see what comes up.

Not Much, seems to be the answer. The silly little patio in the picture above (taken in January) has already gone (and is currently a nursery bed and overflow veg plot), and as our first year in residence will be complete before you know it, we have decided to make a start.



The lawn in the foreground has been lifted as it was on quite a slope - which doesn't fit with the plan. The rockery nearest the field is no more and as you can see, a trench has been dug along the edge of the second rockery. We have decided to do it bit by bit, to try to leave as much cover for the birds as possible while we do it. Are we soft, or what?
