The garden

Thought I'd post a pic of the garden. I cant get all of the patio in on this shot, but its quite large (c.15ft x 10ft). I've done alot of clearing of winter die-back and we've planted some new shrubs. Also part way into renovating the lawn. The soil is a bit crap, mostly building site clay and chalk (house is only 20 years old), so lots of manure compost going on at the moment!

You can see the woods in the background.
