      Thank you, Sheal. Pity some of the pictures are X ed out. There's plenty of room in an empty head to put in ideas. :) :)

          That time of year again. Getting my 1 ton bags of leaf mould from a local demesne. 11 more to come. What am I going to do with it all? I have less and less room each year in the garden to spread it. The plants are taking over now! :) :)

          IMG_3260.JPG

          Also got two 1 ton bags of organic manure from the same place. (They have an organic beef farm there as well.) It's not the least bit whiffy. :) :)

            Some Limestone rocks put into the front garden. Two of them arranged into a Dolmen. (No body underneath, though. :) )

                              Detail of new wall panels put up to try and protect the Japanese Maples bed from the wind. Made from 8 x 4 marine ply cut in halves.
