The Garden is Finished

Oh Joy, my garden is finished.

Actually it was finished a week ago, but haven't been able to get any photos until now because of the lousy weather. We have had this lovely garden to enjoy and have only had one day, since it was finished, to actually use it. And we spent that tidying and placing pots and ornaments so we still haven't really sat and relaxed in it yet.

We go on holiday to Turkey in six days and the weather forecast is such that we will still be admiring it from the kitchen window, through the rain. I really wanted to have a 'Garden Is Finished Barbie' before we went away but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Anyway, here's the pics of my garden now it's done.

The Black Hole

This is the LO for the weekly challenge on UKS. It had to be movie/sci-fi themed so I chose my black hole!
The garden has been finished for two weeks now apart from this hole. The suppliers ran out of dye to make the circle slabs so we've had to wait for them.
The slabs arrived yesterday afternoon but now the horrible rainy weather is holding it up. It has rained solid for a week now. Our workman can't do anything until the sand dries out so we need a few dry days. Can't see that happening any time soon. It is dry today but is really cloudy and rain is forecast for the evening.
My DH showed the LO to the workman when he delivered the slabs, yesterday, and he thought it was hilarious. Wish I could be so jolly about it but it's starting to annoy me now. I just want it finished. I've planted all my pots and planters but can't place them until the slabs are laid. Hopefully, I'll have better news on Monday.

Garden is Taking Shape

The garden is coming along nicely now. The guy who is doing the work only has one arm and he has done everything by himself. He lifts the slabs, cuts them to size, wheelbarrows the cement and lays them. I think he is amazing. It just shows you that a disability is only that if you make it one. Here are some recent photos of the work.

He has done more today but haven't taken any photos of that yet. The hole at the top on the second pic is for a circle to go in but the supplier hasn't got another set until Monday. So we will have a lovely garden, all finished by Friday, with a gaping great hole that will not be filled until Wednesday. Oh well, them's the breaks I suppose. Pity though, I wanted to titivate over the weekend with all my new pots. Well, hopefully, at the end of next week, I can unveil my wonderful new FINISHED garden to everybody.
