Nick and I spent another day at Louth Hospice making progress on the hard landscaping. We arrived just after 8:15 am and didn't get home until 6pm. It's a long day but very rewarding. Nick's doing most of the difficult jobs putting down the porcelain tiles on a less than perfect surface. I tend to do the easy stuff like planting the meadow grasses and putting the slate into the areas where it was the water feature at Tatton.

Towards the end of an exhausting day we had the pleasure of being covered in the dust from a huge combine harvester that passed within 10 metres of the garden.
