Clearing is coming along.

We ve spent a good bit of time on our days off clearing the rubbish and have made a start on the digging.....back knows that alright !

The neighbours have a rotten caravan that we think would be better off cremated and so do the other old hands nearby, but our neighbours think that it is a great shed ! It's not.....its part rotten no doubt mouse riddled and generally in very poor order. The worst part though is that it is encrouching on our plot by about 6-7ft.......so it needs to be moved.
We all tried to pull and push it across the other day to no avail....hopefully they'll see sense and it will be given a decent send off soon !

Not a lot else to add only a quick picture of the plot slowly starting to something like, the path has been mowed (lawnmower now dead though !) and the first bed has been turned over. Hopefully we'll have the first part ready for planting out this week and then bit by bit it will come together.

This is looking from the back to the front before any clearing.

The second pic shows that we've removed the gorse bush, all the old rotten sprouts are gone, the compost bins at the front are no more....we did 6 van loads to the tip but at least now we've a reasonably clear plot to dig over.
The white poles mark the boundry between our plot and the neighbours.....next up is a low fence just to mark it out and keep any weeds at bay from next door.
We ve got a caravan on order so next door will have to get their finger out and move the heap of a van out of the way soon. God forbid a bonfire spreading and burning it down !
