hard labour

Spent most of the morning hammering a cold chisel into what turned out to be a solid mix of clay and brick rubble so that Anniemay could plant some flowers.  Spent most of the afternoon laying on the sofa recovering.

We have a new front garden path and in an attempt to make a raised bed alongside it, discovered that what looked like soil covered with a few stones turned out to be the base on an earlier pathway.  The garden fork would not penetrate the surface so I was forced to resort to hammer and chisel.  

I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.
