The weather has been good ... very good for several weeks now! This means we have been out in the garden clearing, digging and tidying. The aspect is south, the plot is not big, i.e. managable, and the soil is not difficult. There is lots to be done and, on the whole, we have managed to do it ourselves. We take it in small pieces. I do (at least) an hour a day and then stop. With the continuing good weather the job is soon done.
Iain does the heavy stuff, digging and felling (one only) trees. This holly tree provided Himself with 'Tree Therapy' as he calls it. Get out the saw and get out the pick-axe to remove the trunk and roots. In the past he has tackled much bigger tress but this garden is proving to be less onerous so he was able to do the job fairly easily.
The front of the house has a very narrow driveway and the first thing Iain did was widen it. He then removed the stones in preparation for a grab-machine to come in a remove the rubble and earth. 
The truck arrived and removed all of Iain's earth digging and clearing of the past 2 weeks.
This is the view from the front door looking out to the street. The cleared area on the left will now allow space to park 2 cars (as well as a wider driveway entrance).
