Today my smallest went back to school! Yay! Maybe this will be the start of a more positive period, and the garden is getting tidied more and more. I pruned a bush that tends to get ignored at the back of the garden and moved a few of the logs from the felled tree which haven’t been moved since the tree guys were here. It probably should have been done but with a poorly back, my husband hasn’t been able to do anything like that. I hadn’t really attempted it as the first few I tried were way too big for me but I can see I can do some of it and we need to try and tidy some of it before it rots…

I’ve been tempted to get a little chain saw that keeps popping up on my FB feed and attempt to clear some of the logs myself. I’ve always been a feminist, but I am realistic about my abilities at the same time… I may ponder this one!

I pruned some of the rose by the unidentifiable bush I was pruning so I hope we will get a super-duper display of roses. I’ve ordered a little set of perennials from an online place which I had poor service from last year, in an attempt to cover large swathes with perennials I have wanted for a while. Fingers crossed 🤞

I have filled the green bin again so I have been busy! So busy I was visited by Red, my friendly robin, who always appears if there is grub possibility.
