The garden has been making good, but slow, progress since the crazy paving was removed. We hired the vibration breaker again to dig deep holes for the fence posts, as unfortunately we hit concrete, where the council have edged the path outside our house.

Dom's dad came down on the late May Bank Holiday and they began setting the panels and posts in place. We now have 16 out of about 30 panels erected and this weekend I have been painting them dark oak in the glorious sunshine.

Dom hasn't really appreciated the heat, as his job has been to break up the soil with a pick, which is some punishing physical labour. He got about a third of the way through yesterday. We need to get it rotovated and ready for the turf in the next week or two or it will become too late and too hot to lay and won't establish.

This picture shows the fence in it's beginning state.
