Holiday over...
Well!!.... quite a time had by all!!... (I think?) Mum went back to Perth last week and it's rained every day since :( Still, we got a lot done in a week :) so can't complain... One new bed was dug, paving laid around, and started filling in with excess soil dug out of the lawn!! Not sure when I'll be able to start on the other THREE beds?!
My two daughters paid a surprise visit too with one of my grandchildren and the dog!... I'm not a dog person, prefer cats... but he was quite well behaved (by dog standard!). Hope the rain holds off for at least two or three days so I can get cracking with the second bed before the days get too short!
By the way... the beds are actually made with fence panelling I bought at the local B&Q store. A bargain in the clearance sale :).. cost half the price of the raised bed kits I was looking at online!
