Today Bridget stepped up, and in order to save on transport costs she drove a veritable juggernaut up the M40, loaded with shou  sugi  ban fencing, benches, the sculpture,eski and the Palmstead plants. She even negotiated reversing  into the nursery. She is now Master of the Universe and queen of the road (for a day anyway). Most of the pavers have arrived so am hoping the rill will start to take shape tomorrow. Today was all about checking and re checking  our measurements and then checking once more. 

Jan and Tom are thorough ‘details’ craftsmen and it looks like our clean precision design will be executed in the same way. The finish will be superb.

Tomorrow we will also start manicuring the plants, snipping away at anything that is not needed or the wrong colour!

Actually all that motorway talk at the start of the blog set me thinking, this malarkey is a bit like a juggernaut, there is no stopping at this stage, whatever happens we will have a show garden.  Had to sneak in this picture of the floral marquee, in two weeks time it will be heaving.
