Down the garden path

On the right side of the house as you look at it, there's a little brick path leading to a side gate onto the backyard. Nothing much grows there because it's so dark and shady. There are some large rocks that are a weak attempt at a 'rock garden', but the idea needs work. There used to be a large yew bush there, but over the years it got overgrown and spindly at the bottom, it wasn't attractive. So I had it cut down. The path round around it but now that it's gone I decided I better re-route it.

Here's a picture of the yew stump and the wayward path. 

BEFORE

I had the stump removed and today I finally re-laid the bricks. I'd been putting the task off because I knew it was going to be grueling, sweaty work. And it WAS. I also got multiple mosquito bites on my back from hunching over I guess. Now that it's done it looks much neater and cleaner. Eventually moss will grow again on top like it did before (that's what shade'll get you). Now i need to do something with those damn rocks...
