The surveyor gets to work

So, the garden is neither square nor level but not enough of either to be "interesting", just enough to be difficult when planning.

Friday I succumbed and bought a 30m tape measure to be able to measure things reasonably accurately.

Went out today and measured various dimensions and its well worth it.  

Also when investigating railmodeller further discovered that it can cope with flexi track, but also has a layers system (akin to photoshop, elements, paint shop pro etc) enabling me to have a base layer of garden, and a second layer of track.   I can lots of happy days ahead....

However, today was like much of last year and essentially rainy !!
