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.

…is transformed…
…into planting boxes…
…and giant pencils…
…pink floyd boat is painted red…
…the tyre wall gets a hose down and is finished off with purple slate chippings…

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.
