Today is a day of two updates as I managed to complete the Christmas/New Year one first thing and then the men returned so now it's time for regular style updates.

The strong wind of yesterday had fortunately died down over night and this morning was a calm and sunny start and it stayed sunny all day. The men were back and able to work outside trying to get the garden finished before the weather closes in again and their task for today was to work on the paths around the raised beds. First off they laid the mesh material over the top of the stones and covered it with sand and then once they had the sand to the correct height the old concrete tiles from the patio were recycled and laid on top. Angela had a very productive day as well and among other things she tidied the Glass Room and planted a load of seeds and sorted out some other things in there and generally made it a much less messy space. Outside the men were cracking on and finished the middle path and also got started on the sand for one of the side paths. The forecast is for rain tomorrow, however, so we'll see if they're able to get back to this. They missed a whole week of good weather for this, sadly (and frustratingly).

This evening we had a lovely steak and stout pie that Angela made in her Christmas present and it was so tasty and awesome to get first use from the gift from me, my mum and my sister.
So there it is; back to it but for how long who knows. Thanks for reading.
