First of the bollards are installed Thanks to Bamstone for the bluestone – it’s looking great There is still plenty more to do though!

 

 

It seems that we really are holding the garden together with sticky tape Steel Blue’s purple boots are working well – lucky we have the purple polish though! Pergola has had a couple of coats of paint so far

 

 

Someone has to lean on the shovel! Bark on the Betula jaquemontii is nice and white Planning the tree positions

 

Trees need to be moved with a machine, so need to be well protected Be careful! First tree in place

 

Who needs a machine? Mark’s happy with the trees (maybe not with the rain though) It’s beginning to look like the plans.
   
  Getting there on the other side as well.
