A new garden in only 5 hours!

I am ecstatic this evening - the garden is really taking shape and even though it is in a transition phase I think it looks better already.

We didn't quite finish the major work but we did manage to get the new footpath in pace from the front door to the road and removed one section of hedge. We still have to lay a path under the window and then remove the front hedge and conifers. The conifer removal promises to be fun as conifers are the most hardy plant ever to inhabit the earth, I swear if we ever have a nuclear fall out that conifers will become the dominant species, they can live anywhere very successfully.

After calling time on the garden we went out to the supermarket and got in some shopping to try out the new Gillian Mckeith cook book "You are What you Eat Cookbook" I decided to give a couple of the recipes a whirl to see if they can help me get stronger for the marathon and cure my chocolate addiction (which I have to say has got better - only 3 small choccy biccies all week!).

I now need to go get my kit together for tomorrows big race.
