Today was a day for concentrating on details. The copper panels which are a  feature of the garden had to be secured, polished and lacquered to keep their shine. I cut up loads of logs for the wood pile and tidied up the work area.

The sky started cloudy, then cleared, and the afternoon was gloriously sunny. The site is very muddy from last nights downpours. All day work teams have been bringing in tons of woodchips to fill in the muddiest spots. The RHS seem very well organised and capable of coping with anything.

As the forcast for tomorrow is not good we want to make the most of the sunshine. We are still working at 7pm, and I don't actually leave Tatton until 7.45pm. I'm really tired, so no more blogging tonight!
