Our gravel area was reorganised after the exodus of the shed. The trampoline was dismantled and the bits await creative impulse. Using them to form flower / plant arches is in my thoughts but it won’t be immediate.

The table and chairs and barbecue pit have been repositioned to actually get late afternoon sun. I know cause the seat I’m writing this in was directly facing the sun until five minutes ago.

Barbecue has been smouldering away for the past hour and the first skewers of marinated chicken have been cooking for at least twenty minutes.

Youngest is sorting out sides so I am enjoying my cider in the warmth from the fire pit. Unfortunately the fire pit has not worn well and we might have to look into a new way of barbecuing this year.

Shall I draw up a new plan for the garden? Hmm that might be promising too much.
