		| The Plan! | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| First built was the base for the
		phone box.......... |  | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| ....then a giant planter made from 
		railway sleepers (railroad ties) | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| ...at the end of which 
		is the new water feature..... | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| ..the sleepers are oak from 
		Dutch railways. | Last phase was preparation for the 
		patio.... | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| ...which was built with pavoirs 
		matching the house colour.. | ...and then the first plantings | 
	
		|  |  | 
	
		| A new flower bed was added in May 
		2006 | Here is is in May 2007 |
