At the moment the patio is in a bad shape. Full of cracks and walls collapsing.<\/p>\n

There are plans to renew this and at the moment we are pricing the project.<\/p>\n

Hopefully we can start in March. Please come back and see the project unfold!<\/p>\n

Glad to say that the project finally started. Here are some shots of the work done on Wednesday 18\/05\/16 and the block delivery 19\/05\/16.<\/p>\n

With the foundation in place on 19\/05\/16 we were set to get the block work done.<\/p>\n

It’s a very big job as in total over 350 concrete block had to be laid.<\/p>\n

But the weather held up the next day 20\/05\/16 and all blocks went down, including the steps into the garden and the flower throughs at the side edges of the patio.<\/p>\n

It is starting to get in shape as you can see on the photo’s below<\/p>\n

Next working day is Monday. Hopefully the bridge over the pond will be cast and the patio levelled, ready for the slabs.<\/p>\n

Here are the pictures of the next few days showing how the builder (stone mason) Pat stafford with his mate Philip finished off the patio.<\/p>\n

So now it is up to me to finish off the pond. It will take a few months before the concrete is neutralized and plants and fish can be introduced!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ButPatricia had wishes of her own. A stone circle in “The orchard” where you can sit at the back in the sun in the evenings.<\/p>\n

And it turned out beatiful.<\/p>\n

Just the edges left to be finshed by ourselves. Zoom in on the last picture and see the beautiful fossils in theis Indian sandstone. Fanyastic!<\/p>\n

Even the weather has been kind and we hope it will stay like this so that we can enjoy it.<\/p>\n
