Paths around the cottage
A path needed to be constructed around the cottage for clean and easy access. The ideal surface to Malcolm would have been either patterned brickwork or natural stone paving slabs. However, time and cost precluded these and all the work was done in concrete. Friends Dave and Flo' came to stay for a weekend and helped do the bulk of the work. The wives were put in charge of the concrete mixer whils Dave and Malcolm barrowed and laid the concrete.

Alongside the southern end of the cottage. The steps up the back lawn can be seen in the distance.
The path at the back alongside the rockery
The corner behind the garage
This was the final stretch of concrete being laid alongside the garage
The gates to keep the children in were made by Malcolm from scrap wood from work.
Small shrubs and trees were planted in the bed alongside and fence panels were put up
along the boundary when the bungalow was built.
