Thought for the day :"If Lawyers are disbarred and Clergy defrocked, then Naturists are denuded"
What a glorious day - it was actually warm enough to be in shorts and vest to work and not just because I was working hard...
Susie has cleared the bank by the Veranda - at least of the nettles and brambles - the decision as to what to do about the crab grass is for another day. Meanwhile my task for the day was to build a planter for the Primulas we bought yesterday - as they were wilting a little.. and the location was the fallen tree trunk that Susie has been clearing over the last week or so...
And the chosen wood was of course a pallet! and so we began. Sadly my phone is desperately out of space and storage - probably due to the number of vids and photos on there, and failed to take many of the photos I was taking today ... But we managed to get some .. a before and after at least ...
And so we have the finished planter...
My other task of the day was to cut the tops off the uprights for the Yurt structure with the reciprocating saw - which took a while but working in the end. Also to finish putting all the Timber Bolts in place - we had put one in each and so this was putting the second bolt in for security.
After finishing those sections - and 5 barrows of chippings for the pathway we decided to explore..
Susie has already surveyed out the Island but I had never been onto the land that is along the river - behind a barbed wire fence - but that is to keep the cows out - our land actually extends for quite a way.
It turns out that there is a substantial area on the island - and though it is very wet in the winter with a likelihood of flooding - in the summer it could be very dry and flat and provide a reasonable camping area if I get the strimmer out early and keep the nettles and balsam at bay.
No photos today - have to free up a load of space on the phone before it will work again - but watch this space...
In other news - Ukraine continues - but there was an interesting picture when the Russian cosmonauts arrived at the International Space Station wearing yellow and blue suits - the Ukrainian colours...
Cheers ! First hints of spring..
