The on-going renovation of our house and garden met a new high over the weekend, we finally got a new fence! The old fence was rotting, and it pretty much got demolished in the high winds we’ve had these past few months. My Dad, Adam & Adam’s Mum all pitched in and put the fence up (I was working hard on other things!), and it makes the garden look much better. All that rubbish on the right? That was behind the fence, I think it was our neighbour-that-backs-on’s stuff. Anyway, much better.

This was how the garden, and old fence, looked during our renovations. We’ve steadily been tidying it up and took down the two giant trees (they were half dead, blocking loads of light, and restricting the area we now use as a vegetable patch) and the murder shed (it looked exactly like the interior of a horror movie set in there).

Next big step will be a new garage, but that’s after we’ve done a few more improvements on the house itself (a whole exterior wall needs re-rendering). I’ll show you some more before and after photos of my house this summer! Looking back on the old photos really make me realise how much work we’ve actually done.
