Progress reoport

We have unpacked most of the boxes...


But still a few more to go.

Including us, there are four occupied Bovis houses in our cul de sac. Round the corner there is one occupied Barratts house, so only a few neighbours so far. Everyone is very friendly.


Definitely occupied.
All occupied. Snagging in progress at Number 11.

We have all provided 'snagging lists' for the builders and they are gradually getting through the jobs.


Builders shoes outside people's front doors means snagging in progress!

Paul has made a start on the garden. Mainly 'tidying' overgrown hedgerow trees. He has also been busy managing his plants in pots.

All plants have survived the move.


I have identified an area of garden that I will look after.


My corner


It includes a nice bit of 'Devon Bank' hedgerow, so I am looking forward to restoring that.

Once again we have enjoyed having weekend visitors, Sam and his friend James. It is nice showing people the local walk round the estuary and exploring new places to eat and drink. It is also nice to have some extra help with the heavy jobs in the garden!

Levelling a patch of garden by the shed.

 Snagging should be almost complete by the end of the week and with any luck turf in place the following week. Things are definitely progressing.

  1. Love the boots outside indicating 'snagging' - which I'd never heard of. Also, well done boys for helping.

  3. It looks really nice and I look forward to seeing your bit of the garden - I guess yours will include the pond..?

    1. We are going to have some water. Probably a wildlife pond and stream. I think the goldfish will stay in their new home as it is so big and we can visit them.

  4. Hi Carolyn,
    I'm jealous of your new large garden! Especially the wall with all the ferns and wildlife on. Glad you are settling in, doing lots. Maybe you can have a solar powered fountain in a pebble pool or pond, I have one and it works brilliantly!

  5. Nice to hear from you. I will send a new year email before the end of the month. Once it stops raining we will start adding garden features....
