Call me Diarmuid Gavin...

It's now 5pm on Sunday and, contrary to the forecast, it's chucking down. However, Jerry and Nicky came over this morning and we managed to get a lot done in the good weather.

Garden started off very overgrown...



...as did nothing to it during the summer while in New Zealand. Actually, that is a just an excuse, because I wouldn't have done anything to it during the summer anyway.

We worked very hard...



...and found interesting wildlife...



...took loads of stuff to the tip (where there was a big queue and lots of slightly chavvy people picking over the crap other people had left...)



...and wore trendy waterproof kagoules (is that how you spell that?) when it rained...



Have no gate at the moment (Thanks B&Q Stock Control), but I actually bought things to grow in the garden today - see firs above, rather than ripping everything out, so my fingers are ever so slightly greener than ever before...

Roll on the Chelsea Flower Show.

  1. Didn't you have to go on a special course to learn how to do all that gardening?! By the way, it's either cagoule or kagoul (no 'e' if spelt with a 'k'. Nice gate!

  2. Oops, forgot to close my brackets.) What's the word verification all about every time you post a comment?

  3. It's to stop bogus blog-trawling software leaving annoying advertisements posing as comments. Typing in the word verifies that you are a real person not some random spyware trying to post crap on my blog.

    You are a real person, aren't you??

  4. Most of the time, although some seem to prefer to pretend I don't exist!
