An insight to the daily life of a garden design and landscaping build up on a rear garden located in Exeter, Devon.
Day 13
M5 Closed
Oh dear not looking good closing a motorway.
M5 Crash
We have been on the road since 7.15 am, the traffic on the motorway has been sat there since 6.30am, I sincerely hope all is well in-front of them, the sat nav tells me I’m 2.9 miles away from the landscaping project.
Midday
Finally, Coffee.
Before I commence the reflection pond landscaping build I complete the final course of blockwork to the feature wall, apply the scratch coat and cover.
