But before we start look at the visitor we discovered the other day, sunning himself in the morning sun.
We had a visit from Anjie , who took a few days from her busy schedule to relax with us. She spent most of it building the back drive!! A very welcome inspiration and impetus.Thank you Anjie.

and Brian is back setting out and concreting the garage base, hard-standing for the cars and path to the back door.

Meanwhile I have been busy building the wall at the front of the house. I am just a few topping stones short so need to go out looking for some. But otherwise am pleased with the result.
We have also decorated the spare bedroom now (a bit of a must with Anjie visiting) and finished off quite a few of the internal jobs. Now we are on to gardening. Will take a few photos over the next day or so and update.
