Carrots and back to the steps...

We got some carrots today, not that many, but enough for a photo. I fear that we need to pay much more attention to the soil in the veg patch and not trust to luck.


I also went back to the steps today, after two weeks of damp holidays and a few days of recovering and feeling lethargic. Tomorrow we head off again, and I wanted to get something done.

I had decided after an idea from Dad, that the top step would have to be the bottom step. This left a problem of what to make the bottom step and to solve that I decided on "stone" there is already "stone" at the top of a pair of steps feeding in to the lawn and the new chair will be on a "stone" plinth. I am just going to be adding to the "stone". Getting the bottom step out was not too hard, but pleasingly did require some force. Hopefully I have not affected the second step too much though it definitely shifted a little.

Fortunately I had two bits of stone lying around and only needed to buy one more. One is slightly chipped, but not enough to notice and one has a very fortuitous break that follows the line of the garden...

I was not the only one working on steps...
