And FINALLY

As the title says, FINALLY, the last nail is in, the last bit of lawn has been planted, it has been a busy 3 months with a lot of sweat for our troubles, almost as much work went into the garden as went into the house.
A lot of the hard work was done by Tarja, on top of that she did all the planning for it, she really has an eye for this kind of thing.
As the first picture shows, we didn't have a great deal to be getting on with, just a corner of some old and no longer needed field.
We had a few contractors in, Electricians, plumbers, floor layers (concrete) diggers by the few, latest were the asphalt layers for the driveway, and finally but not least my able labourer Ari.
