Lack of playtime :(

Not much crafty playtime expected from me this weekend :( We currently have a 3 tonne skip sat on our driveway waiting to be filled......

After 3 spending years with an almost permanently wet and soggy lawn, and builders that didn't want to know (what a surprise!) we've finally had enough. The last 6 or so weeks have been spend digging 3 ft deep trenches around the lawn then filling them with a couple of tonnes limestone chipping to try to create some drainage. The limestone chippings didn't give the garden the finished look I wanted so we then topped it all with another tonne of slate. Now you see the need for the skip!

DD has decided that she wants her birthday party at home this year so we've now got just over a month to get the garden totally finished - including re-staining the furniture, shed and decking - at least we now have a deadline to work to :)

Anyway, today's pic is from a couple of weeks ago - hopefully I'll get some time to do a bit of this over the weekend.....
