Gardening


A burst water main in the village caused much consternation on the village what's app group last night as everyone's water pressure disappeared before toilets could be flushed and showers taken .
The lane became a river with the water forcing itself skywards and coursing past the cottage towards the felin
The water board turned up eventually and It would seem that everyone on this side of the village were woken by pneumatic drills and heavy machinery at 4 am
I was too
And finally returned to bed at eleven am for a snooze.



This afternoon with help from my sister , the front garden has been fully replanted with plants .
Blue and white agapanthus , blue salvia, gold rubekkia, foxgloves, hostas and pink geranium
It's a work in progress but will look quite lovely once the burnt grass returns and the new plants grow to fill their new positions.
I feel that something positive has been done today even though I did rip the arse out of my sweatpants  watering the planters
The front garden will look very different than it once did
Another important step towards turning the cottage into my own
Now I'm watching a sad antiques show, as it's raining hard
Dorothy is licking my tired feet
