    They surface roads with synthetic 'tarmac' now.

    I was kidding a bit, but SMA, synthetic mastic asphalt has been in use for decades. The aggregate is mineral stone, but the binder is a bitumen/polymer mix. You just don't see real coal based tarmac these days.

    Gilsonite is a natural asphalt, they occur all round the world. As with most things, I dare say an artificial equivalent can be made.

    As it's warmer, I think I'll do a bit more crazy paving in the garden later. I have a redundant border between a path and wall that just gathers weeds, so I've started filling it in. I've put a storage 'cupboard' on the bit I've already done.

    Got rid of a lot of the ivy at the back a week ago, just cut the grass.

    Bald patch in corner is where compost bin & bird bath used to be (they were fun to move). I have seeded it without much success.

    I'm largely unoverlooked but then I've never got that excited about gardening

    Just got a bit more done (not pointed yet), then ran out of sand. I'll have to pop down to Wickes.
