finally got started, with a bit of gardening! Unfortunately there is no room on my Dad's drive to do the build, so the car had to move from its resting point outside the garage to the back garden.
So just three small (ish) evergreen trees to dig up (that I am allergic to, I come out in a blotchy rash if I touch them), a fence panel to remove, a greenhouse to manoeuvre around and a couple of well established bamboo bushes in pots to move about to get the mini into position.................
So Bank Holiday Monday complete with full on Hangover, on what was supposed to be a very overcast and wettish day I began............the trees came up a treat, all three dug up in about half an hour, which was good as I was getting a bit itchy!
But it took another three hours to cut them up bag 'em up and load up the car with the 1st load (the 2nd load - roots went in a 2nd load later in the week), lots more itching!
Then a good hour to manoeuvre the car into position, with me my Dad and my brother all pushing, mostly in opposite directions to get the car into the back yard.
And next weekend it the Bristol Mini Day on the Sunday at Puxton Park, Weston-super-Mare, hopefully some good weather and lots of photo opportunities to brighten up the blog....................
All ready to start.................
