The Back Garden


This, on the other hand, has already undergone a massive transformation. Ed has got happily carried away with the digger, and made some huge changes.

Ed has taken out some small trees that had self-set, and levelled out the ground. There were rocks, and old tree stumps, as well as rubble, and he had removed all of these from the top level. We want to put a lot of hard standing up here, to extend the pool area, and build in a BBQ / bar area. The blue pots have a lemon and orange tree – but more about that later!! The mid level has had a huge eucalyptus tree taken out, and then been levelled out. The tree root was huge, and took most of a day to unearth, but he’s done it!

We still have the little wendy house to get rid of, but that will need 4 beefy men to move, and the prospective owner to be at home to receive it. It will be going to a neighbour who only speaks Spanish, so will take a few phone calls to organise. (I can’t wait to get rid of it – then I can finally get my hammock up!)
