Up the Garden Path - Work in Progress

Work on the path carried on last year - only two years after it was started!  Andy and I had a weekend where the weather was good and he'd acquired some cement from work.  We had to do things in a shift pattern, ie, I would keep hold of Finn while Andy poured the concrete and then he would take over keeping Finn under control while I placed the slates.   We still have plenty of doggy foot prints though - hey ho.

We certainly didn't do as good a job as Shannon did - Shannon was much more meticulous with her slate placings while we were just in a hurry to finish the bloody thing!  So the slates were more spaced out and it's certainly not very neat.  It also started out as a very different cement colour to the original, although, over the intervening months, it has darkened up so all looks a bit more uniform.

I think it would have been better to do it all in one go so there weren't obvious lines where we'd started anew, but I'm pleased with it anyway.  And only another two years before we finally finish it, I dare say!

Clearly it was too much for Andy and he needed a lay down afterwards to recover!
