Earlier this year we were all discussing figs and I mention we had a plan
to build a wall in our fruit cage, the plan being to have some fruit
trees (including another fig) and some tender climbers, said quickly this
seemed a great idea.
Yesterday the concrete blocks arrived at the road side (which is the
nearest the lorry can get) and were carried by Liz and I onto the propety
up 14' of steps and across the back to the fruit cage - all 504 of them.
Last night was definately a two glass of wine night!

All you need to do now is mix a few tons of concrete for the foundations :-)
I know, and guess what, that also has to be humped up there! but at least
if we buy chippings a ton at a time it gets delivered at the top of the
drive, and we don't have to do it all in half a day because its blocking
drive and pavement like the blocks!
