Taking shape

We have fantastic friends.
Yesterday evening Callum came round with his shiny new pick-up and gamely towed the airstream from our back lawn (where it looked as though an aeroplane had crashed into the greenhouse) over the flowerbeds to the top field where it is to stay, looking down through the bluebell wood along the glen.
Jane R took this photo of the airstream before it moved - you can see all the light covers that we need to replace.
Then we barbecued sausages and halloumi and raised a glass  to Callum and Jo (who had omitted to tell us that it was their wedding anniversary when we asked the favour- as I say great friends) and their new baby while relaxing in the sun.
A great evening.
Moving the airstream has made an enormous difference.
You can now begin to see what the gardens will look like - I haven't been able to plant up some of the beds this year as we knew they would be squashed by the airstream so they can now be filled which will help.  But it is more than that - now the hedges start to make sense, the paths lead somewhere.
It is all very exciting - now I just need to make the plans a reality. 
A garden photographer called this morning to see whether it would be a good time to take shots for a guidebook.  Gulp. I said to call by in August . . .so now that I have a deadline, I better do something about it.

This is the same Airstream that is your studio? Hve to check in case you have more than one:)
What great motivation for you - a goal of August to get your beds sorted.
That's plenty of time isn't it? says the armchair gardener:)

Goodness yes Lynn - Same airstream - I just have a better view now from my work table. We are NOT getting any more vintage/old vehicles in fear of beginning to look like a scrap yard.
I always work best with a deadline . . .

Me too Jane, in fact I am beginning to think nothing gets done here unless there is a gun to my head! Reminds me of doing my degree!!! xx
