Me and my man

Have been doing some gardening.
Part of the relocating plan means that he will be selling the house he jointly owns with a friend. As they have only been in the property just a couple of years, there is still alot of work that needs doing around the place. As a result, we have been doing some form of DIY every weekend since before Christmas, in an effort to get things completed before it is the time to sell.
With the weather being as booty as it is currently, we elected to do some gardening. I say gardening, that implies pulling out a few weeds and planting some shrubs. What i meant to say is landscaping. We have dug out the middle section by hand, got rid of the weeds and old patchy turf, levelled the area and raked out the stones, then turfed it and added a few flower beds.
We did this over the bank holiday weekend so had a good four days to do it with, and we had anough time at the end of the weekend for a glass of wine at sundown and a seat in the sun.
We didn't do it alone. Martin's housemates helped also.
Here are some before and after pics:
