We're terribly house and garden..................




































Fantastic weather continues..............so the indoor workers got the short straw. Blazing sunshine and no wind. Ground absolutely bone dry. So...........time to give the bushes a haircut with the new toy, a little electric trimmer..............it's very sweet but managed to chomp through some quite substantial twigs. No, we are not going to make the potentilla into a topiary roe deer. However some of the rhodies are getting a baldy to encourage new growth. The berberis have also had a trim shampoo and set, and we have structural plans.................but really too hot today for much heavy work, so a little light planting of courgettes, sunflowers, borage, squash and rocket was about all that could be managed..........

New hall lights are up! Carrie and John washing walls and caulking..........the strange hieroglyphic map above is Charles' wiring diagram so not surprisingly the electrics are taking a while to sort out.............fiat lux!
