I've refrained from knocking down any walls as yet, and the only thing of real note we've done so far is to cut the grass. Having a garden for the first time in years is something we're enjoying getting used to, especially when you find things like this.
I know that middle age has truly set in now that I'm researching sheds and greenhouses. My main project, though, is to dispense with the grass entirely and plant a floral grassless lawn, like this one. It's partly my laziness, and partly because I've always wanted something like a camomile lawn, but this way I get a bit more variety, insects, and a rest from the lawnmower. Everyone's a winner!
I'm starting small: pratia, three types of thyme, and freshly sown red clover towards the centre. Fingers crossed I don't kill it all.
