So we took the rickety old fence away and wondered what would be the best replacement. With it open the garden looked bigger, but it made it easier for the local foxes to poo on the grass which isn't pleasant. 
A hedge was a possibility but would mean I couldn't grown many flowers that I'd be able to see from the house. So a new fence was the best compromise - one that allowed more light to get the garden yet still gave us a bit of privacy.
The posts were duly concreted in (using markedly less concrete than the ones we removed!) last weekend, which meant that this weekend, weather permitting, we hoped to be able to finish it. The weather did indeed permit, so in the morning the rails were added to the posts
then in the afternoon the pales were nailed in place, and a great improvement it is too. A good day's work; now, where's that beer?

Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale

You'll be joining the middle classes soon!
There's a strange beardy man lurking (oh yes, difinitely lurking) in the second picture. Lucky for you it wasn't a streaker.
Fence looks great by the way! :)
Very tidy!

Brilliant! Was it difficult to do?
Surprisingly not, Rich. Time-consuming and tiring, but not particularly difficult. :)
