Mud, glorious mud!

It was all go yesterday at Domestic Executive HQ. Diggers and lorries and men wielding rakes and nosiy machinery. To make sure that all the activity went swimmingly it rained for most of the day!

Still, we now have a completed drive, top soil reinstated along the drive and the top paddock all of which are primed ready now for more thistles to start growing at a rate of knots. The landscapers come later this week to start planting trees and finally we'll be complete with phase one of our landscaping plans.

It's amazing how a bit of gravel and mud can tidy a place up. Well until the bassets start playing in the new soft to play in areas. Deep joy!




Eagle eyed bloggers will notice the basset play pen is gone in readiness for trees!






Guess where these guys have been?

The sun down the valley!

Hi Marrisa
My plans are using running on kiwi time which means about 2 months later than expected. Seems that summer is no good because soil will blow away so not sure there is ever a good time. Am probably going to have to fence off the most accesible parts to bassets!

Good to know you braved puppy school again. The trouble with bassets is they look adorable but you can't be fooled by that!
