There’s lots of big works planned for the garDunn this year. Costly ones too!

We’ll be replacing a few hundred paving slabs with grass again, to break up the whole “Roman ruins” current look of the garden. We’ll be tidying up the brick boundaries to make sure it all looks great.

Paving slabs will be used to set up other areas of the garden though to save on materials. The end result should mean a more balanced look around the garden – and plenty of areas where there’ll be loads of colourful flowers to bring everything to life and attract loads of wildlife.

The garden did initially have lawns some 20 years ago, it will be great to see it reappear. Guess i’ll have to buy a lawnmower and all the wonderful accoutrements like an edger, strimmer and boxes of lawn feed!

As well as the garden, there’ll be loads of work on the exterior of the property (painting, roof tile cleaning, gutter tidying), as eventually this will fall inside as we update some furniture, get the TV on the wall, reintroduce brick back to the fireplace, and do simllar fun things to really make our place our home.

First stages first though… quotes are still coming in for the garden work.

Hoping it will all be sorted by the end of July.
