Its the evening before we load up ready for the trip to London to start work on site on Friday. Nigel has been running around collecting together the equipment: cement mixer, wheelbarrows, tools, pond liners and all the parephenalia needed to create the fabric of the garden. Some of the materials will be delivered direct to site - some will be waiting for us and others will arive over the weekend.
The list seems endless: 15 tons of paving, stone, gravel, 15 tons of sand, a ton of ballast, around 400+ concrete blocks, 150 metres of timber sleepers, timber buildings, a pile of decking boards, 10 tons of bark chips and boxes of straw bags and cut conifer foliage, 2 pallets of turf, pots, sculptures - and of course the kettle!
Sue and Graham have been busy painting furniture and Sue has been doing a great job collecting colourful accessories which will bring the garden to life. Its a mazing how a coat of summer damson can transform a simple timber patio set!
Did a bit of filming for South Today yesterday - Due out on Chelsea Monday 23rd.
More later.............................
