Its taken a few weeks, but the planter in the front is now done!
We first had to build a wooden frame (tricky with all the concrete in the ground), line it with membrane fabric and fill it with soil, put in plants and cover it with bark chippings.
Then we put membrane around it to stop weeds, and bought some new stones to cover that.
The 'decking' next to it, is merely to cover the two manhole covers there, as obviously you can't cover them with stones. We're going to put some pots on this in time.
It was a hot weekend in London, 25 - 26C. Grae and Fi invited us down to theirs for a Barbecue. On the Sunday, we headed down to the seafront for breakfast at Dino's...then along to Adventure Island, where Harvey went on a few rides.

John and Lara were there with their new daughter, who may be called Jasmine...or Paloma...or maybe something else entirely!
Big Congratulations to Lisa Mari on Winning Miss Norway last night. She's now off to Miss World in Poland later this year! Looks like all our internet voting and Siv's text messages paid off!
