If the Dutch can do it, so can I: reclaim land !
After I had built the "Great Wall of China" retaining wall along the bottom drive, it was time to backfill with soil to the level of the existing tennis-court area.
40 truckloads later and perhaps another ten to go, and the area has almost doubled in size. Then comes the top-dressing and the grass ...
I don't know how many guilders the Dutch spent, but this lot has cost me a few thousand dollars. It shall henceforth be known as "The Golden Mile".
