I hope that's not your garden Micheal it's a proper mess. I'm after an ornate victorian type birdbath to put in the centre of some box hedging in my walled garden but they're hard to find over here.

Believe it or not my garden is in good shape I've a few projects like fixing the haha and some other walls that are on going but the lawns are totally moss and weed free most beds were weeded last week and all the hedging is recently done. I love gardening it's not like my normal work at all and it's a good way of switching off no veg this year though it's to much work with the kids and mrs Pregers again. My driveway is bitmac and it's about 10 years beyond needing redone but will cost £15000 even with me doing all the prep kerbing aprons and drainage so just can't face it especially with new vans and cars needed.

This is a Haha incase anyone thought it was a spelling mistake it's basically a low wall on our side and ahigh one on the field side to lessen the slope and incorporate the view so no need for a fence etc.
