Oh my goodness - all that in 4-5 weeks? Can I be cheeky and ask if you ever venture down this way from Peterborough?
What are you going to do with the bath?
And where are your compost bins going?
I bet you are pleased with it - you have done a fabulous job.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Hi Jeanied,
LOL we only venture down the allotment nowadays
The bath is behind the greenhouse so we can run some guttering from the greenhouse into the bath to collect more rainwater although we have the waterbutts its easy just to dip your watering can straight into the bath.
Compost bins and Chicken coop/run are next but these are still in the planning stage.
Thank you for your lovely comments xx

That looks fab!
Did you clear it all too, or did the council do that before you got it? Good fencing, should keep the vandals out.
