What has been keeping me quiet ?

[Bonzo]

Been quite a stranger to the forum recently .... What's that I hear you say " Bleeding good job too "

So what has been keeping me quiet ?

Well apart from the usual health related issues & the bad frame of mind that comes with it. ( Nuf said about that )

I have been doing a few jobs about the house as & when I can, slow going but with Juniors help we have made a little progress.

Have been waiting for a dry settled spell so as the new roof can go on the workshop ... Not looking like that is going to happen any time soon !!

Whilst waiting we set about the rough embankment at the side of our back garden, more or less a bit of a wildeness, nothing more than Mine waste, rocks, nettles & brambles.
Here's how it's looking today.



Cleared the weeds, excavated most of the rough bank to ground level , used the rocks that were put to one side to build a small wall, piled all of the excess spoil on the remainder of the bank & grassed it out.

Have probably gained about 5-6ft of width to our back lawn ( I use the term lawn, loosely )

Will plant some shrubs on the bank later in the autumn, just chucked some grass seed on it for the time being.

Wifey well happy with the result.

Downside, it took me over 4 weeks to do such a small job !

Just waiting for the rain to stop so as the new roof can go on the workshop, when are we going to have a dry month ?

More to follow
