Back Patio project commences....

Simultaneous to the driveway project is the back patio..... here is stage 1.....



Growing a few herbs ('erbs as they are pronounced here!) at the back door. The barrels are actually a resin polymer so they don't smell like wine as the real ones tend to and are a lot lighter to move! The herbs in the left barrel are 5 different kinds of basil.


There is a gate through the fence to our neighbours house and at the moment there isn't actually a gate in it so there are a lot of comings and goings by two little people when anyone is outside....
Here are CJ & Bella on Sunday afternoon when their Mothers were hard at work with shovels in their respective 'yards'. Check out Bella's hands.... Cooper's feet were a similar colour when we got inside (he had his Crocs on so his feet were dotted with black mud!).



At one point Bella was lying on the ground (yes in the dirt) and Cooper was being an 'upside-down boy' with his head and feet on the ground looking across at her.
