All the stones are placed where I want them. Some of them were a little heavy but possible to move.

A friend has just shown me a copy of Peter's book and I must learn Swedish! It is an extraordinary and beautifully produced book with many plants you only dream of. If you imagine that gardeners compose with plants then most of us are still playing a penny whistle! Really amazing to see.

Thanks for the kind words. You don´t need to learn Swedish. I will make an English version and it will hopefully be ready next spring.
