At long last plants are going in - only a year after the initial construction work got under way. Of course, after all the rain delays of the past few months, the sun has now decided to shine which will entail regular watering of the new planting. Luckily, a gardener has been appointed to visit on a regular basis which should avoid massive losses to drought.
A burn along the edge of the garden has now been converted into a series of pools and waterfalls. Hard landscape construction has almost been completed although more weather dependent items such as earthworks and mortar pointing will have to await warmer and drier conditions.
A glass balustrade has been installed along the edge of the roof garden on top of the garage, allowing unbroken views to Western hills. 
Despite times of heavy rain, much of the construction of walls and steps is now complete, Unlikely that seeding of a lawn will happen before the onset of cold weather as the soil is far too wet for seed-bed preparation.
