…or our garden to the uninitiated. One of my many sister-in-laws (Carol) is “doing” our back garden for us. When she started to dig out all the weeds and long grass it was hot and sunny. She wished for some rain to soak the ground so the digging was easier. Be careful what you wish for I say, it hasn’t stopped bucketing down since. So instead of being able to rake over and level the garden in time for the membrane layer we have a sea of mud, knickers! The plan is for a Japanese type garden with gravel and lots of bamboo and cherry blossom – know any one who likes cherries cos we don’t!
