That darned bush is everywhere I don’t want it. I’ve filled three trugs which fills our green bin! And I’ve been jabbed back for the impudence of trying to eradicate it again.

I’ve gone along the front boundary and trimmed some ivy too and before anyone jumps on the birds nesting bandwagon I only snipped free hanging strands.

But I can sense that I should not plant even the tiniest new plant this year. I have a potting shed by won’t be using it for growing anything? No? It’s keeping my tools safe.

But I’m also on shed clearing duties soonest and will have to get the oldest smelliest clothes out for those jobs. Actually do I have smelly clothes or is it just the ones that are ready to be sent to the clothing skips I should be using for this? My experience of using the skip so far this year has filled me with the option of getting rid being actually quite a positive experience all round.
