1 step closer......the base is in............

Looks good so far, could he come and do one for me then I would nt need to cut the grass. Well done both of you.

Every mountain (and mountainous task), no matter how high or how hard, is climbed one step at a time. Well done, Milky. Can hardly wait for the finished product.

Its great when things finally start coming together after hard graft. Looking good Maureen, bet you cant wait until its time to start getting some plants in there.

great milky getting closer :o))

Where are the fish then? Has the herring had them already?

You're making gr8 progress with this. :-)

Getting loser, doing well with it.

Well done it,s looking great Milky ..there isn,t a wrinkle in it .. :o)

Thanks all, I was dreading this as my back had just stopped aching, but it took us 2 hours to lay the base, so now its all up to Ray, the very unqualified bricklayer, to get the walls up..........So please, my friends, dont hold your breathe waiting for the next photo ha ha ha ......

Maybe the next photo will be of Ray asleep after all the hard work - we havent had one for a while :-) Go on, you can get him ..... Hope your back ache's OK by the way.

Actually Dawn, I have just had a glance accross the room and the lids are drooping..........

Ha ha, hope the camera is charged.

Just waiting for the moment my friend

Coming along nicely Milky.

Looking forward to the next stage, eh Ray......Ray....Ray.....RAAAAAAAY!!

Ha ha ha - waiting with bated breath!

Seems he did nt hear you oddbillie lol

Don't forget to put something in the pond so that any small creature which fall in can climb out.

Certainly getting there!

look forward to the pic of ray asleep in his new pond milky lol

Is that Ray thats small that might fall in the pond when sleeping Toto he he he

Well on the way now!

I don't think that Ray is that small Morgana.

Toto, as if I would let any little critters drown....well maybe the cat 2 doors away, but of course will shall leave a small ladder for them ha ha ha ha ..........

Good for you Milky. As a matter of interest, is there much meat on the cat?

Not a lot Toto, Poor thing is just left to fend for itself I think, but whatever it gets, it tends to deposit it in our garden grrrr.....Lol

It's a gift Milky. Probably the only one you'll get this year if my life is anything to go by. Treasure it.

Oh what a shame Toto, Milky I m sure you would nt let Toto go with out a gift would you, no of course not, like quality street made for sharing, you dont mind sharing your little gift and send half to Toto, would you Milky.lol

I shall do it straight away Morgana.....he he he with great pleasure ha ha ha ha ha ..........Look out Toto....watch for the package he he he

Think it's time for a campaign to rid the site of beligerent females. What do you think Bonkers?

Did someone mention "Quality Street"?

Sounds like you may well have the first one "in the bag", Toto! :-(

lol David

The first one maybe but I'm not answering the door to the postman at the moment.

Oh Toto........do I hear chicken Clucks? you big hen you......You ask for any trouble you get.....Jean can answer it for you and bring you the parcel.............................

I m sure Milky will wrap it pretty and put a nice big bell on it for you from the cat.

oh yes........you betcha

Great, I'll know which parcel to let Jean open then.

I will sneak it past Jean's delicate nose Toto....have no fear...or rather do......

Your getting there.....slowly slowly catchee monkey whatever..........

It's not a monkey that Milky has in mind Dotty.

No Dotty ......definately not a monkey
