Drive is sculpted and stone arrives


After more skilled work with the digger, loads of limestone and a heavy roller, we have a drive with a gentle gradient, a sweep round to deliver people to the front door and room to reverse and drive out forwards.
Although we have yet to embark on the paviers which will finish the job, we have a good drive which is user friendly.

The compressed limestone butts onto the old concrete - see photo.
More 'new meets old' - the old utility roof, now pitched, extends out to form a verandah, echoing the one along the front of the house.

The front bank is showing a fuzz of green as the grass seed germinates. It would be too much to hope for light, gentle rain at night to help it on its way.
