Paving!

The weather has been up and down so it’s taken a bit longer than first guessed but I have new paving!

Matches the pattern at the back of the house and I’m super impressed that there aren’t any tiny footprints in evidence. 

Stacked

The paving has been cleaned off, lifted and stacked and I now have a lovely clear area ready for the new look. 

Paving?

This is my before shot and believe it or not there’s paving under there.  As you can tell garden maintenance is not my strong point so on Monday the landscape guy is coming and by the end of the week this should look completely different. 

Wild!

We’ve had two days of properly wild weather and winter is definitely on its way. There is major flooding down south and a decent snow dump. Here we’ve had raging southerlies up to 150kms/hr and tidal surges up to 12m. Luckily I’m pretty well protected from a southerly but it was so wild that water was blown up and under the window flashing in the kitchen. I’m counting myself extremely lucky that I only ended up with an art installation on my windowsill, it could easily have been way worse. 

PS: this is why you keep a good selection of random containers and old towels.
