The Garden Saga

Well we got back to the house in a bit of a state and the Garden looking awful. Fortunately prospective son-in-law is starting up a gardening business. Rather than give him cash, decided to buy him tools, ppe and do his startup paperwork. Well wasn't charging him bed and board with coming through with the newborn.... Sunni a doting nana again!!


Now on Skip no 3, the front garden is now beginning to look almost done............ Amazing what 4 tonne of red chips does for making a garden low maintenance. New shrubbery planted, new rose bed........... Sunni's most unfavourite bush decapitated................ Love seat under a cutback tree............. and the lawn reseeded! Prospective son-in-law removed 30 bin bags of weeds and stuff from the lawn!! When we went out to Saudi the lawn was lovely, smooth, flat and green. We got back to a large muddy weedy patch!

No one could get up the side path from the front of the house to the back as the supposedly cut down tree had re-grown in the years we were away. Fortunately a good pal of ours had fallen out with his boss, had a chainsaw and took his umbrage out on the tree. Now we got a walkway back and the tree has a big cut out so folks can walk past and not snag their tights! Oh and some big logs to sit on!
