I finally got registered so this is my baptism if you like. Phil. asked how the "moat" was going. It is actually a Ha Ha and is all but finished except for a few grass seeds and a bit of fencing at one end.
This is the history of the job.
Notice the obligatory pile of hardcore along the edge to satisfy Mrs. Scooby. I can't have straight lines for the mower, oh no, she thinks that would be too easy for me so I have to be turning with the ride-on right on the edge.

That's turned out very nicely Scooby, I'd wondered what Phil meant. I agree with Mrs Scooby about the rocks Am I right in thinking you moved to Wales?

Gosh Scooby, after all that work too. It's amazingly beautiful. Don't know if you read that we're trying to retire back to the mainland - not sure where to though - www.property-in-scotland.org/croft-hebrides/www.hebrides.wsbut need the right person/family to take on this place. Plenty wanting a house, not so many wanting the land as well.

Shame after all that work, and it is beautiful. If only I was twenty years younger!

Hope you got planning for it my neighbour set to and built one and the planners came down on them like a tonne of bricks. Had to try and get retrospective planning still arguing about it now looks like it may end up in court. Made a good job of yours though.

Ah, a moat without Water! What with trolls & with people posting under different names....my refrence to "the moat" was Just my way of making sure scooby was the genuine article (and you probably won't find a more genuine person)! It looks fantastic Scooby, not so sure about "the granite outcrop" though? Top quality job.
