Unscheduled Projects!

Much project progress made but - all entirely unscheduled!  Chris had this idea to move the Banana Bench and create a little secret seating area behind the dead Ceonothus.  Then he thought it needed a brick foundation.  He brought the bricks and did the entire thing on his own (whilst we attended a wedding). It looked so lovely, we all thought it deserved a path leading to it!  This meant moving the newly planted rose and creating a little more privacy by moving the Berberis from the Top Lawn Border to screen the bench.  It meant more bricks, sand and cement and more unscheduled work.  Rain stopped play before we finished on Saturday so work continued yesterday and all is now finished.  The path winds around the Caryopteris passing Clarissa before stepping down onto the service path at the back of the border. Plants which had to be moved included Polyanthus which were divided and replanted either side of the path.  All we need now is time to sit on the bench and enjoy its views across to Woodbury & Abberley clock tower.
