Monte and the squirrel

Yesterday Monte and Kitski outmanoeuvred me totally, they went out on the hill in the morning would not reappear delaying our departure so I was 2 hours late for my meeting in Edinburgh!  We found Monte at the foot of the electricity pole beside the house staring up at the top.. and it took some looking but eventually we realised why..

Fruits of the earth

Nobody who has read Mapp & Lucia can hear the words "garden produce" without laughing, but nevertheless we are very proud of ours. Such beautiful beetroot......such delicious raspberries, which unfortunately nobody else will get to taste because we've eaten them. However there are lots more mange-tout peas coming which is just as well because we've manged tout those that have cropped already............









And the rest of the roof is now on, looking beautiful, new bird feeders up also so we'll see how long the local tweeters take to notice.....

Up On The Roof

Great excitement as the shed roof arrives.......those pallets are jolly heavy but thanks to the slaves they got on the roof quite quickly, whereupon we discovered that there weren't quite enough of them......oh well. 
Hmmmmmmm........
There are quite a lot.....
Pretty, though.....
Cute pink bits.....
So far so good......
Taking shape......
And HEAVE.....

Superb tool racks

Getting rid of the stump of the Berberis that nearly frightened Katisha to death about 8 years ago, it is not going quietly.....

Just in time for Wimbledon......
