Lazy sunny mornings

Ah, the lazy weekend morning :-) Lovely warm sunny day, the outside bedroom door open to the patio, the lovely sounds of birds singing and the pond fountain gurgling :-) A nice mug of tea in bed, to get you into the right relaxed frame of mind for the rest of the weekend :-)

Have a lovely weekend all!

The garden...

Gardening done, have added to the cat scratches from earlier with my fight with the roses...

The previous owners of our new house let the clematis etc run riot and it's now quite woody. Well, it was... It's now quite trimmed after I cut off all the dead wood that I could reach. Hopefully it'll encourage it to have more flowers, but maybe that'll be next year now. Either that or I've killed it...

Spooky...

Random stone by the side of a country lane! Is it me or is it a little bit on the spooky side?...


Having moved out to the countryside 6 months ago, I’m trying to not be a typical suburbanite.  No fast food (no one delivers out here and drive out and pick some up, it’s cold by the time you’ve got home…), no mains gas, and an Aga to master.  I’m getting there.  Slowly.  Bearing in mind before we moved out of my MDF-stylee kitchen I was a lousy cook, and anything I tried to grow quickly turned a pathetic shade of brown…  
I’ve got great plans for out here.  I want to turn the weed garden into a fully-fledged vegetable garden, with fruit trees.  Maybe some chickens.  Become the fantastic interior designer that I am within the confines of my own mind.
We’ll see how it goes.  For better or for worse.  Watch this space…
