Finished path.

Looking good Hywel.

what a lovely result Hywel. it looks really smart and will make going down the garden much easier.

Beautiful results, Hywel! it's good to see the fruits of your labours, isn't it? finish one thing..and on to the next! I find getting over the initial inertia is like a boulder rolling downhill... once it's started I don't want to stop.. but there are always a host of factors that dictate how much productivity a person can take! not the least, environmental! Please make sure to pace yourself in the heat. :-)

Your garden is a treat and the new path highlights lovely plants.

Well done Hywel, it looks grand, bigger now you've cleared some plants back, also you won't get your trouser wet if it rains, can't you tell that happens to me sometimes, lol, I think once you make a start and can see where you've been it gives you encouragement to carry on, that's the way it works for me anyway, mind you NOT today, I can't stand this heat anymore so apart from hanging my washing out I've been doing housework, silly woman..
No need to rush through your gardening Hywel, do it when and if you feel like it..x

it is very satisfying to see results this good Hywel. Your new path has changed the garden in a dramatic way. It looks much bigger and longer and the colours are a delight. It is hard to choose a favourite plant when they all look so good together but I do like the yellow aquilegia. I like the way you have used colourful foliage too.

Great job Hywel ... looks super 🙂.

looking very nice

I love your new path and it really sets off the flower beds now. It looks so smart and makes a real difference.

Your garden is looking very nice and the path looks great. Hope you are well, keep up the good work. I have been busy cleaning the patios and the paths around the bungalow but the heat the last 2 days has been extremely hot.

Hywel it looks beautiful, like something from a magazine! You must have felt very tired by the time it was all finished!

I have been doing a bit of very necessary weeding today after being tired for so long it was good to be able to do a bit of something that actually made a bit of difference!
Did you have any problems disposing of all the stuff you cut back? We have heaps lying around, far to much for a brown bin and it will take several trips to the tip.
Sending a couple of strokes for Bella.

Thanks for all your comments :)

I did the path over three days so it wasn't so bad, the afternoons have been a bit too warm for working. I like to have a siesta on warm afternoons :D

Lincslass I always wear shorts in the summer so it's my legs that get wet lol :D
I like the warm weather, I just use the time for relaxing :)

Your paths and patios must be looking lovely now Marjorie :)

I have joined the council's garden waste recycling scheme Steragram, it will take a few collections to dispose of it all but that isn't too bad ...

You've done a good job there, Hywel. I too have been tackling a path problem, undermined by Mr Mole in many places and also too narrow to easily get my mower through. I hope my finished result looks as good as yours.

Your garden is always so well kept and colorful. Nice job on the paths.

That's a job well done Hywel ... steady and slow is the way to go I think. Well, that's what I have to do these days!

Very good work, Hywel! :) You have now made the garden look more spacious & tidy! Take things easy in this heat!

Where I live in East Anglia, only 20 miles from Cambridge the temps have reached 32C today! Thank goodness it is supposed to cool down a little over the weekend. Thunderstorms are forecast but we don't get them very often.

Thanks for all your comments about my path :)

I hope your paths are looking better now Gill :)

It looks well kept as long as I can keep on top of it Bathgate :)

I hope you are all right Shirley, the slower the better for me these days :)

I haven't done anything today Balcony, it has been too hot. We were also forecast thunder storms but haven't had a drop of rain yet, although there was some high cloud gathering this evening and the sun became hazy.

Hywel, I had a bit of a 'wobble' a week ago but have been taking things slow on doctor's orders! :o)

I'm sorry to hear that Shirley, please take care.

Will do ... :o)) x

Fantastic job, Hywel! Looks really impressive! Your garden as always, looks amazing! It’s so full of life and colour too.
You’ll deserve a well earned rest! The path looks really nice and flows really well..the planting on either side is further enhanced. Thanks for sharing. Keep well x

You're working hard Hywel, but it looks a lot better. The rest of your garden (or what I can see) looks really good too. Are you like me, alway changing something?

Thanks for all your comments :)

I hope you are well too Kate. I'm glad you like my garden :) x

You can't really see the rest of the garden in these photos Julia, just what's next to the new path. I made sure not to show it because it is in an awful mess. Another blog is on the way after I tidy it :)
Yes I am always changing something ... never satisfied lol

Lol! I used to be always moving the furniture around when we lived in our larger family home. Now our little retirement bungalow doesn't have enough room to make that possible, so I've transferred my 'talents' to the garden 😂😂

What a difference that has made Hywel ! It looks good and now shows all your lovely borders off and what a fantastic view you have from the garden too !

I do that to the furniture too Julia lol :)

Thank you Rose :)

😂😂😂

Pictures that lead the eye fantastic your pathway looks wonderful and your garden flourishing beautiful you ve done a great job laying the path that looks cleaner than your first photo .

Thank you :) x

Well Done, Hywel. As for the 'getting there'; it's the journey that I enjoy the most. I love the variety of colours; textures and forms that surround your path. Better still, the views are to die for. Lucky you!
Happy gardening!

Your welcome Hywel 😊 xx

Thank you all :)

What a difference Hywel, it's so pretty now. I must get cracking on mine now, She who must be obeyed (Bloomer) told me I've got to start cutting back my wayward plants and tidy up ....so that's what I'm going to do:-)

Thank you ... I'd better not show my garden to Bloomer then ! haha :D

Catching up as usual......what a difference your new path has made .....hard work lifting and relaying slabs.....but worth it.....great work.....

Thank you, it took a few days to complete :)
