In spring it took a while to set the timetables with the engineer who came to our lot to plan the area to be built i.e. where each building should be built. When we got the official site layout we had to send it to the building inspector for permission to start with the small shed, which is our main goal this summer.
Summer also, having been exceptionally cool, had started slowly. In June rhododendron tomentosum, known best as marsh Labrador tea, northern Labrador tea or wild rosemary, and vaccinium vitis-idaea, better known as lingonberry, partridgeberry or cowberry, were blooming in their beautiful, modest way.
We made the order of a shed which will be compiled of prefabricated elements. And we ordered an earthmoving contractor to come and do some earthworks on the site. He will come next Monday, finally! The elements of the shed should also come soon. So far, we are still waiting. And meanwhile in the town, my husband has been making us a nice fire pit, which still waits for some trimmings!
