Spring Clean

The garden at Seagreen may look all sparkly in summer, but the winter months can take their toll. By February, the paving stones are green, the lawn is filled with moss and the driveway is dull. This year, instead of Gary spending all week of our holiday cleaning the garden, Martyn and Sean, (our two amazing builders from Seabreeze) came over to sort it out.
