Gardening seems to be the word of the week - the sun is out and we are experiencing really good weather so Wendy and I have been concentrating again on the out side area's though I have been able to wash and polish the bikes too ;)
We have completed clearing the front garden and borrowed Mark's pride and joy "A sit on mower" which was able to level the garden and now as long as we keep it mowed it will become a nice lawn (with some repair) Wendy's plan is to rotivate a piece for growing vegetables and another for cutting flowers.
The green house is still to be cleared and either renovated, the perspex is very brittle or to be demolished completely. Watch this space for an update.
We have started on the rear land area which is about 6 time the surface of the front and more overgroan! yes i did spell that right lol... But as you can see we are making an impression on it. This area will become a patio recreation / BBQ space along with some lawns and rockery type things - we hope to find a level enough space to erect our pool too, which will no doubt require a gazebo type of arrangement and some decking... loads of work and for the future as we are only concerned about clearing and maintaining it at present.

The jungle was too much for a strimmer alone and I had to resort to tried and tested methods and tools... Bloody hard work but very enjoyable to stand back by the fire and see the dent you have made. This is going to take a long time to clear.
We have decided that a sit-on-mower is a must have so if you read this kids, Billy, Scott, Ray, Sammy, Bobby and Bethany they cost about £1000 so that works out about £167 each for Christmas ;)
Mark and Kay took the easy option to get there grass cut by using French Marks tractor (Unfortunately there is no access to our area (Yet!) ) so he paid for it by way of a BBQ which we all went to and had a thoroughly good time, When Mark and Kay come over for good I think I am going to become a SOT :)
