Keep using 'the fence'. It is great for a bit of gossip and thoughts. Anything really.

My new roses (for the wall) came yesterday. Amazing service, I only ordered them on Wednesday!

Unfortunately, I've made a mistake with one ('Twist') - it's the wrong colour for my planned scheme. I think I may be able to fit it in on the trellis at the other end of the garden, though.

Here it is...

I thought it would be a dark pink, but it looks much redder.

I've also ordered the Clematis and an Aktinidia kolomikta but two of them are out of stock, so I'll get two parcels, one next week, then the other two in about a month's time.

Mark is actually building the wall now. This is where it's got to.

He estimated that it would take a month. I suspect it might take longer. It's really two walls, after all...

I love stone and we have none here. That is a lot of work, but it will a real showpiece.
