It has taken 5 years but we have just put the final bits in place to finish the garden. When we bought the house in 2002, it was practically finished, we only needed to add a kitchen terrace, but the house sat, isolated, in a field. Starting at the back and working around the house, we have got it as we wanted it, but because it usually meant big trucks passing through the garden, the front of the house has been the last to be finished.
Jean-Francis, village friend with JCB, called round this afternoon with piles of rocks that he had excavated from all around the area. He pointed lovingly at different rocks and he knew where each one had come from. He then placed them so gently, with his huge machine, around our new flower beds. This man is little short of a genius. He chose which rock to put where, put the prettiest face outwards and placed them perfectly in position. All this using the bucket on his monster machine and whilst sitting high up in his cab. It was amazing. A lovely job, thanks JF.
