Turfing in the rain

Over the summer we have been repairing and renovating one of our old houses.

It was in a terrible state, but it's all sorted now and we hope to have sold it. 

One of the toughest jobs was the garden. 

It took a while, but eventually it turned into this. 

It had to stay like this until today when the turf arrived. It would have been nice if the rain had started when we had finished, but it certainly helped us to speed the job along, although we did get completely soaked. 

It's not quite a bowling green, but it could be a football pitch in a couple of weeks.
