Having spent the entire summer looking out the window at a pile of rubble and weeds we have finally begun to carve a bit of sanity into our outside space.... with a little help from our lovely neighbour Bernard and his JCB and a 10 ton delivery of gravel.....
It was a bit of a challenge (on both parts) to explain exactly what we wanted to the guy on the JCB, but we found that once I gave up trying to communicate in Portuguese (poor bloke)...and relied on a bit of improvised sign language it was pretty much plain sailing!
With the exception of an unearthed soakaway pipe, it was a breeze...
Having shifted about 8.5 tons, in a wheelbarrow (yes seriously) I am feeling a bit 'gravel sick' : S
But its a good start and the summer is not over yet.... !
