Well today I have managed to upload another slide show of seven photos showing the zig zag path being built. Our garden is very steep and I am less able these days to get about and so Mark and John came up with the wonderful idea of making a longer, but less-steep path. There is a seat to rest on half-way if necessary, which was built out of garden bricks which were lying around and an old garden swing chair seat. The path is quite narrow, but it would have taken a lot more time and effort to double the width, and we’d not be trying to push a wheelchair up there anyway.

My sister Jenny has been very busy and put a weather link up on my home page and it is certainly interesting to see the temperature rising. As I write this, I am lying in bed with a view up the garden and the sun is shining, and Mark is hauling wood and other materials up the garden as he is re-building one of our compost heaps. We have two areas that we compost material at the moment, but one of the constructions is about to fall apart, and the top heap has disintegrated completely (after Mark accidentally caught it on fire with hot ashes from the bonfire). Luckily it didn’t burn down our next door neighbour’s (Graham and Clare) lovely barbeque hut which sits at about the same altitude as our summer house!
I will send the camera up the garden to get some shots of the newly built compost heap and post them as and when. Mark has had to spend a lot of money on the treated wood to make two compost areas. It now needs carting all the way up the garden – shame I can’t help……..
