The gravel for the path turned up at 10.30pm. Twenty bags of Romsey Red was off-loaded on to the pavement. The tasks of getting it up the slope was another exhausting slog, but luckily Nicola was on hand to help.

I managed to lay half the bags of gravel on the path. It so disconcerting to drag a heavy bag to a place on the path, cut open the bag, and tip the contents into a very small pile resembling a cow pat.
