Although our tired tarmac driveway has needed replacing for a number of years we kept putting off replacing it until recently. A local builder was laying driveways in our area and we decided at long last that we would have ours replaced including the path up the side of our house. The path up the side of the house was less than ideal for getting the wheelie bins up and down. The slabs were too narrow and there were pebbles to either side of it causing the wheels to snag. As the pathway progressed we decided to extend it round the back of the house, enlarging our patio area slightly and replacing the the existing slabs.

Whilst the builders were laying the pavings at the back of the house they unearthed a drain access cover that we didn’t know was there!! It had been slabbed over by the previous occupants.

Now that the patio area is looking neat and tidy, two garden fairies have arrived and started  to give the garden a bit of TLC that has been long overdue…
