After ice skating with Will in Somerset House last week, it now finally feels like Christmas is round the corner and winter is coming to North London.
Our front garden has been a work in progress since the summer time and whilst I was racking up some serious Black Friday expenditure on my card this weekend, Will and his dad were outside in the cold putting the finishing touches to the front garden.
After the old wall was demolished earlier this summer and rebuilt by Will and his dad, the garden is now completely transformed from its original state, when it had a (grubby) and leaning front wall, having been used as a skip for the duration of the building work. Below is a picture of it in all its former glory. Shudder.
Our new railings and stone pier caps were installed on Saturday. A neighbour was also kind enough to gift us the stone shingle after accidentally over ordering. Here are some pictures of the work at various stages…
And, voila! The finished article below. Now just to persuade Will that we should invest in some large light up Christmas reindeers to put out there to really finish it off..
