SO, somehow a whole day of photos gone but hey gives you less stuff to get bored with hahahahaha
For the slate ends and the granit chipping ends I just leveled the ground with soil, compacted with the whacker plate again, added more soil and did another whack... then just laid Terram then the finish
The new slate was a breeze but the old end was a mare where my guys in the digger scraped it back it was 50% slate 50% soil, so the wife and I spent a whole day sifting through this lot and moving it about from one place to another and dumping the unsalvageable, well, put around the back of the outhouse for a pathway there...

The decking end we put in new slate which was much easier...
Due to the height of the charcoal sets compared to the flags I had to lay them on the wall on thick concrete this look I did not like so I have also given the bricks 1 thin coat of bitumen, this has soaked in a tad so less likely to flake off in big chunks and will hopefully still allow water to seep through the courses - main thing is it looks MUCH better anyway so not disappointed
Both of the bits either side of the pond path have been filled with cement and concrete

This is bringing me up to date, still got the garden end of charcoal sets to complete but that needs to have lights and electrics re-done so saving that for another weekend... here is where we are now
Slate at the other end done too
You can seer the slope in the sets bringing that end down to the same level
Triangle bit of sets to put in on both sides of the path...
Today has been my first day off the garden hence the big catch up, hope you like it
Thanks for popping in and having a look... weekly updates from now hopefully now that I am FINALLY getting close to be able to tile the pond SOON !!!
<EDIT> I just remembered, last week on the bank holiday Monday which was the day after this photo I spent the day pointing all the flags and sets, I used EasyJoint for the first time, damn what fantastic stuff that is too - it really finishes off the areas to a much better level than I have had previously!!Last edited by dbs; 05-06-2021 at 06:43 PM.

Thank you dave
I finished the second white stone area and the girls have started to add pots, rocks and ornaments it is beginning to take shape nice...
It took me a couple of hours yesterday spreading the stone on the new patch and I then spread additional stone over the first area which wasn't quite deep enough, whilst doing this unknown to me my daughter did rake the first patch with circles, she was very pleased with it but to be honest I really did not like it at all, much preferred it smooth... maybe straight lines is needed instead
