Thanks Jackie, it's quite unbelievable when you see the from this to this pic isn't it!!! I just had that design in my head, even down to the patio, with the half moon steps I wanted and he sort of got on with it with a bit of guidance from me! He worked sooooo hard too, and was even proud of it himself! He said it was the best job he's ever done! Now I've got to look after it he said!!! That's the hard bit I suppose You'll love it too if you do yours, I will look forward to seeing it, but don't forget to take some before pics before you start!

Its stunning.
The birds will come back when it has been quiet for a while they usually hang around watching to make sure it is safe before returning.

Thanks melsgems, nice isn't it!

Thanks Lynn, I've just had the proverbial woodpigeon taking a look and wandering around on the lawn. He tried to get to the food, but he seems frightened that there were so many things hanging above his head, so he left! A little blue tit did come out of the hedge earlier on, grab a bite, and flew back in the hedge, so maybe he'll be telling all his mates. Still think I'm going to move it further into the garden perhaps. Thing is I've never fed them out in the front garden, only round the side bit, so I suppose it's going to take a while for them to realise it's even there! Hey ho, give it time, I'm not the patient type!

Thanks Shaza, and in actual fact it's much bigger than the photo's make it look! We're amazed at how much ground we discovered after taking out all the overgrown sections, especially down the middle fence line to the neighbours! We gained another 10 ft there!!!
