First things first...

... the base level of driveway finish is applied... mix of recycled car tyres and stone

Progress...

The stone...

... arrives for the driveway finish

Falling down...

... the big goat willow tree next to the drive came crashing down at 3pm in the strong winds... gladly nobody hurt but the 20ton lorry was stuck in the drive until it could be cleared

From a distance...

... from far side of the valley...

Almost there...

...

Green green grass of home...

... the first turf has been laid in the cottage garden and the fencing is complete

A new house...

... has been nearly finished after all the renovations and restorations of the cottage...

Steps...

.. the amphitheatre steps finished in Cor-ten have been formed ready for final finish

...

... the Kebony timber cladding starts to be fitted...
