Cleaning and gardening








Brian has started cleaning the van roof to clear all the petals and dirt.......it is a difficult thing to do as our tallest ladder isn't quite tall enough, he uses a broom head on a long handle to reach the middle but where the skylights are needs special treatment so he has erected a scaffold in side to climb on. He finished it after about an hour and said he will clean the sides another day.....he was bushed!

I have been trying to do some gardening today - the border under the window in the front of the house has so many weeds in it - I have half filled the compost bin! and digging it over has been hard , because it doesn't get much rain on it the ground was like a rock! The shrubs that are there are doing well and need a bit of tidying up - I know it's the wrong time to prune but they were so untidy! the back garden is looking lovely - a lot of the shrubs there are in flower, and we even have a bonus from next door with a clematis growing through the fence - Brian was all for cutting it down but I asked him to wait till the free flower display was over.
