The new block walls...

The block wall has been built by the front door...

This is looking through the front door at the block wall :)



And around the back of the house by the clothes line...





Next step is for the block wall to be filled with concrete - once that has set - the back fill / drainage chips - can be placed behind the walls - and then topped with soil so we can finish off the gardens...

Belated Happy New Year

Hi friends, I have been a little tardy with my blog over the Christmas break... first day back at work today which was a shock to the system. We have had a lovely break - lots of good weather, lots of eating, sleeping in, catching up with the gardening (or should I say weed-pulling), and Chris also had the block layer back to finish off two retaining walls - though more of that later.

The highlight of the Christmas break just has to be... visiting Junior Witch in Oamaru - myself, Kaitlyn and Rebekah for a short visit - though we seemed to have packed in a lot of sightseeing (including visiting Dunedin - Cadbury Factory, Train Station etc; Moraki Boulders), shopping, eating and even riding Bobby at Junior Witch's RDA where she volunteers... was so sad to leave - even a few tears were shed (surprise surprise) - here is a selection of my favourite pics from our travels...

And then there is Bon... Junior Witch's babe... isn't he just adorable - I've never known a dog to pose for the camera like he did - we had so many laughs.

I will load a separate post with the new block walls :)

Love and Hugs
