Garden planning

It's the 18th of April and after seeing my brothers lovely fledgling garden I am greatly inspired to start planning ours...

So I asked the architect to send me the plan of the house and the surrounding land which he did (albeit 9 months later) but he said 'ATTENTION PLANS PROVISOIRE' which has left me wondering quite how provisional it is! So, armed with a retractable tape measure and a heart full of hope I am off to do some verifying of my own... please dear god of the undershrub don't let me discover everything is out of proportion!

Will report back my findings later!

I should have started this many months ago...

... however I didn't think my house would take quite this long to build... so like all people seem to be doing in order to remain sane these days - I'm letting it out into the void of the internet - and perhaps into the lives of any other frustrated house builders out there.

I think this blog may save me a few friends as there are only so many lunches you can ruin moaning about your project manager and the things he hasn't done before you stop getting invited out... I need to keep a few friends to show the finished product to anyway!
