mulch time


this week we've been trying to clean up the garden and mulch the plants to help them survive the lack of water. got a huge mound of 'forest litter, fine' delivered and attacked the ivy, honeysuckle, cotoneaster and bamboo in the front garden. it's a surprisingly large area of land once you get rid of the overgrown weeds.


the new wheelbarrow and garden tools have had a good workout and the mulch is spread - we just need some rain to give it all a long soak.



only one problem - all the creche facilities are deserted. rory, where are you???






the fish miss you and so do we.


had visits from friends bearing gifts last weekend - tomatoes from victor, plums from adele, dahlias from clare.......
and the baklava from maria was scoffed too fast to photograph.
