Yes they are new pics. i.e., we've not seen them before but I think they may be a few weeks old. The barely readable date on one appears to be the 2nd October, and there seem to be alot of sky-ward shots so we are unable to make out if anyone is working.
Still they seem to have got on with the garden and it looks as though the external paintwork is nearly finished. I hope there are going to be many more plants and trees as shown in the artists impressions. Apart from the obvious benefits of shade and aesthetics they soak up water after a storm and help avoid flooding.
As I keep saying........................fingers crossed.
