Garden Update

We have had a busy few days, catching up with jobs in the garden and ensuring the house is spotless before we go off on holiday.  The dogs have gone to the kennels for their holidays and so the carpets have been cleaned and all the soft furnishings have been washed, ironed and put back.  The last of the washing is hanging outside to dry, there is nothing nicer than the sweet smell of bedding that has hung outside.

 

The grass has been cut both at the front and the back of the house and progress has been made on the furniture.  The set is now finished and was used over the weekend when we had a barbeque, the first of the season.

 

 

The rocking bench is still a work in progress has it needs some new struts, the old ones been rotten.  That will be finished when we get back from holiday.

 

 

The mini greenhouse has now been put up ready for use, hopefully the stormy weather and winds are over so it should be alright.

 

 

The seedlings are still going strong, we are hopeful that they will survive whilst we are away, fingers crossed.  The rhubarb has gone from strength to strength I am really pleased with it.

 

 

Mother nature has performed her duty and we have been rewarded with some beautiful flowers and the awakening of buds.  As the beauty of the season unfurls I am always hearted by the beauty and of the bounty to follow.

 

 

The weather really is picking up and has been a pleasure so I am hopeful that we will have good weather for the holiday.  The ferry crossing takes about 5 hours so I am hoping for a calm sea my daughter does not have very good sea legs and is usually sea sick.  The new regulations for travel came into force at the beginning of April on ferry and euro tunnel travel so we are not sure how this is going to impact on the journey.  Has anyone encountered the new system yet?  Reading an article on google it appears to be time consuming and delays are expected.  All we can do is wait and see.

 

See you soon.
