Phew! Another warm one, but I love it. We planted our new green things, although the fern that I thought was a good price was a bit shrivelled, and when I took it out of the pot, the rootball was as dry as a bone. I don’t hold out much hope for that. The same has to be said about the raspberry sticks that I have been religiously watering every day. Today I inspected them, and the sticks snapped off. I guess they won’t be baring fruit anytime soon.
We took pictures of our latest dresser, and posted it straight away on Marketplace.
She also found another one very close by, so we had to go and collect that one.
We did a bit of pruning of our rhododendron bush, it, like all the other things in the garden had suffered neglect, but with Sweeny Todd with loppers it was transformed into a slightly different shaped rhododendron bush.
There was a new dresser to start, Kelli had stripped the top and some drawer fronts, my job was to stain it.
Later in the evening we walked up to Mike and Lesley’s house for his seventieth birthday. I cannot remember much about it other than it being a collective of ex brits winging about the good old days .
Another Lifetime to go
