Laid new path and built a new front step

Well finaly the weather has held off long enough to get a picture.
Path and step finished still got some slabs to lay as you look up the new path to the right making almost a patio in front of the porch. Of course there is rest of the garden to do, but main thing was the path and step.....big improvement.
Well I think so - and cost so far £22.50 for sharp sand and slab lay mix, hardcore and bricks for step. One chap quoted me £600 to do what we have done, re-using our slabs. And I do not think he would have done so well. Given this was done by me (recovering from hysterectomy and my Dad (82) and my nephew Lewis (11) I think we have done good.
You may also note the "brain wave" of having the downpipe cut/redirected to go into the planter not the drain.

Now, width 3ft

The much mentioned step, 6ft wide 2ft deep....
