          Unfortunately had to have help to do more.You'll never guess why.......I ricked my neck:ouch1::gaah:....and to make it more annoying I didn't do it lugging barrow loads of soil and bricks,no that's too obvious:rolleyespink: I actually did it cutting a slice of bread for my sandwich:doh:....at least it got me out of cooking the tea:biggrin::thumbsup:

          All being well my neck will be OK tomorrow and I can get on:dbgrtmb:

            I like the way the two "supervisors" are on the job in the first pic and in the second pic, when the job is completed, they've gone off to their tea.

                        It looks absolutely amazing. Very professional work. :) I'm amazed what you guys do in your gardens. And will definitely change something in my green space next season. Good job once again. I love it.

                        P.S. Can I live in your garden when you plant the roses? :please::SUNsmile:

                          It's looking fabulous Loli and isn't it amazing how much a single planter in the middle makes such an impact? :spinning:
