Everyone has pet hates about things right? With homes that you share with others it can be particular habits of other occupants that are at the top of the list. Fortunately for me, at my current house that is not a problem - my housemates are all lovely. Instead it is the garden and oven that occupy my nightmares at night. I came over all enthusiastic this week and tackled both - the results are really very encouraging.
The oven was the easy part frankly - although it’s not quite finished, it is now possible to imagine what the bottom might look like when clean. As for the garden, with the assistance of my brave parents, the world has been placed back into order. Both the crazy blue flowering borage and some form of invasive hop covered the garden. Whilst probably not that bad in themselves, within the last couple of years they had formed some sort of cooperative dictatorship on the flowerbed front. We took them out with weapons of plant destruction (i know, i’m sorry, it’s late).
Here are a few before and after photos of the alley next to my house and the yard at the rear:
Much better hey? BBQ next weekend then.
As we were digging we found a selection of dogs and barbed wire. No, really:
Wow! What a transformation! Good work.
Brilliant! Especially the dogs! :)
