Work on phase 2 of the project has begun. So far the route of the path has been plotted. Great to see progress and the tyre wall in bloom.

…to make a base for this slate monolith…
…plants arrive on site…
…some more tyres are painted blue to make waves…
…and the blue boat in lined to make it into a planter.

We started digging…
… Adam customised his pink gardening gloves…
…we kept our strength up with tea and biscuits…
… and laid our first tyre…
… and made nineteen more voluptuous beauties.
…and sorted out about a tonne of hardcore from the earth: note we do not need to buy any hardcore.
