Where the new folly wall is to be built, because the wall is straight, and the previous hedge was curved round, it's left a gap between the new wall's foundation and the existing paving.
Here you can see the gap.
Luckily, we still had a couple of the same paving stones, one complete and one that was broken and a good shape to fill in part of the space. and a few setts left from the original load we bought when we laid these paths.

We managed to find another piece of broken grey paving to fill the space on the right of the photo, although it's a lighter grey, if it stands out too much, we can place a plant pot on it.
All cemented in and just waiting to dry.
Filled in and drying.
Because all the wooden edging we put in over fourteen years, has now rotted away, we are slowly putting in new edging, we have used some blocks on the curved part and then in this corner we are adding some rope-top edging. Paul being assisted by his two helpers!
Digging them in where the earth's fallen over the path.
Paul was able to reuse some of the setts that he had to move in order to get the edging in place.
A dry cement mix brushed between the setts and into the gaps and left to dry.
Tidied up this part of the path really well.
Another section of the garden made good.
So, another small area done.
All needs a good sweep and wash once it's all nice and dry.
