I don't think this can rightly be called 'manual' labour as I'm doing it! When you can't afford a mini digger what you need is a) a wife, b) an old wheelbarrow rescued from the builders skip and c) a spade; luckily for Dave he has all three. The task was to start again on the front garden as now the wall is rebuilt I can finally remove all the subsoil that came to the surface when the corner of the house was repaired and the foundations strengthened. I can't wait to plant it up properly as until now I've had to make do with sowing a mixture of annuals, very pretty in the summer but depressingly bare in the winter months.
