Yes, I spent the day constructing the lowered floor for our new shower tray, which will be flush with the tiled floor.

DIY represents about 98.5% of our spare time these days.

The garden is Beccy's department. She is a right David Bellamy these days.

This year we are only growing 10 Tomato plants and 3 Cucumber plants!!

(thats compared to the 57 Tomato plants she successfully grew last year )

My garden is a bit of a waste land at the moment
Got a corner plot with potential for a 4 car garage but I'm not sure whether to do it it or not (adding to the mortgage)
Funny enough I quite like gardening my old one looked like this
