SHAMBLES

We did not know where to start today, so much to do, the deadline looming and rain and rain ad rain... But we managed to put the roof on the shade garden, I painted the wall, we finished the pergola. That was a laugh. We had cemented in the two vertical poles last week 41/2 metres apart,
anyway today we happily choose a pole to go across the top, only to find that it doesn't fit and after unpacking half the graveyard and some heavy lifting by henie we found THE ONLY 5m POLE left at lifestyle. So I guess one should check what size these thing are available in before designing a garden. Cheryl (our drawing lecture) came by and mentioned that with pergolas the poles should only e 2m apart - we are changing NOTHING at this stage.

I have no photos today as I left the camera in the trailer. But I am uploading a drawing of the shade garden, so you can follow the progress.

They announced today that we can work late on Wed, Thurs, Friday.. PHEW!!!!! At the moment everything is such a mess and a shambles.

By the way our plants arrived today from Arnelia in Cape town, their web address is www.arnelia.co.za if anyone is interested. The proteas are flowering, we have the Sylvia and the Pink Ice. PIcs tomorrow I promise
