10th June 2026 - And A gents Loo

Thought for the day :""I am writing a sequel to the film ' Gone with the Wind ', but I am struggling with the first draft"

Wet

Though dry enough to finish putting the posts in for the Peacock enclosure. 

The new Gents Loo built and ready in a day - well done Chris - two days work like this is killing me !

So, from Compost section...

to strimmed pathway 

to Gents Loo for those who must go 

Meanwhile, Susie need to protect her Dahlias and her Chrysanthemums from marauding hounds..

so a neat woven willow fence is put in place ..

 

Will move the pots into place to morrow 

Too tired to put the tools away - gonna rain overnight so everything is under cover ..

Think that will do for one day 

Bottle of Blush today I think - a nice light finish to the day 

Cheers 

9th June 2026 - And Two more trees reduced

Though for the day: "I once stayed a night in the YMCA. It was OK, but I wouldn't make a song and dance about it…"

Dry

Cheers 

8th June 2026 - And Strimmers Working

Thought for the day :"When I won the lottery, I quit my job at the bakery. I don't knead their dough anymore."

Dry 

Got my Bosch strimmer working today - well rather I bought a new one as the repair was likely to cost and arm and a leg and a new strimmer was £58

So a few pictures of the garden now we can see much of it ..

Note the trees laying on the ground 

They will be gone tomorrow 

Also got the big strimmer / mulcher working with the harness which helps considerably, but an hour is enough for me 

another day in the garden 

It will be fun they said !!

Ho Hum

Cheers 

7th June 2026 - Pulling Weeds in the rain

Thought for the day :"Throughout my life I have learned a lot from the mistakes made by others who have taken my advice."

Wet

And TEN applied for for the June Meeting.

Attacking the paddock with the strimmer, and decided that it was too tough - so been removing this area by hand 

luckily, it is possible to get the tractor around quite a bit of the grounds now 

Will have to work on that - maybe removing some of the wooden frames around some trees - or at least making them smaller to allow more mechanised cutting 

But still a lot to do 

Whole areas need to be cleared before we get the Tree Surgeon in to reduce these trees

Even the lane looks a little damp

Cheers
