When we took it over it was very, very boggy!… We covered it all with black plastic and left for a year to get rid of all the mares tail, bindweed and other pernicious weeds. 

 But what we really wanted was a SPECIAL PLACE for small children and SMALL ANIMALS, and down at the  bottom of the slope where it often flooded was a just the right place. 

.. we set to work to move all the rubbish

and after we uncovered the plastic we found most of the weeds had gone so we began raking it to get it flat ready for planting grass seed. 

we needed a good path with a drain at the side of it

then it was time for our special projects…
