This is before work started. Members of my family had gathered to enjoy dinner outside one really warm Friday evening (12 July 2013).
The garden looks quite nice in this photo, but it wasn't really in close up. The greenhouse had broken glass, the slabs were messy, the whole garden was overgrown.
Fast forward to Friday 25th and the greenhouse has gone (as well as a tree which is just out of view to the left).
And the next day the steps to the back door went. So no more exiting from the kitchen to the garden!
Next the foundations are started and then filled with
concrete and gravel (I think - not really that good at/interested in the
technical details, to be fair!). So now the garden is completely out of bounds, which is not entirely great for the kids. But only another week and a bit of school holidays to go, and we're away next weekend, so it's not too bad! I am missing having somewhere outside to hang washing but last Friday one of my (many) nice neighbours let me use their line.

I've never worked within a blog format before so it's quite hard to make it look reasonable. However, you get the idea I hope!
