Peteey..peteey..peteey...are you trying to kill your old Aunty...?....

..I got one side dug in.
It isn't hardcore under the thin layer of gravel..but it might as well have been.
Feels like compacted clay..what a job...I didn't have the strength to complete it.
Hubby took the easy way out and went off to do other jobs..until the last 1/3rd..then he did all the back fill.
Raked up all but a thin layer of gravel inside the tunnel and used that to bed in the side too.
Got my Buddah in place..facing the first rays of the morning sun.
Hubby is going to cement him onto the column before I paint them.
Starting to feel like Home....

..look at the colour of that sky....:Ohmmm.......:...
OBTW...when we went down this morning..on the south facing patio full sun was 4C..tunnel was 10C..
by lunch time patio was 10C..tunnel was 20C....
so it Works....
I'm busy cleaning out the conservatory for the plumber to get in tomorrow..so I'm dragging the pots with my patchouli..and tomato germs etc out to transfer down there into the tunnel....:dance2::dance2::dance2:
