Over the last couple of months we have been busy removing our old 3000

most people have.
I had no idea the concrete walls were so thick under the butyl rubber
liner, took a heavy sledge hammer to shift it. Builder did a good job of
the walls (London weathered yellow brick) and the new patio (sawn brown
Indian sandstone) . After laying the lawn on Thursday it's now virtually
done except it needs some more plants.

That's a grand job, Bob! It looks very attractive and I just know
you're going to have fun filling the voids with new plants.
Which Clematis is that, please? It's a lovely shade of blue.


It's Clematis Happy Anniversary.


Thanks for coming back with that, Bob. I'll make a note of it. We're
going to Wisley next week with a friend, so I'll start my search there.

I'm glad you've given up falling into chilly ponds! Ours is a raised
cascade pond, so little chance of that happening here. Enjoy your new
garden and, maybe, share a few more pics as it develops.
