Lindsey weeded this natural cottage garden border under the Holly Tree at the front of the garden. It already has wild garlic, a wild fern and Cuckoo Pints Arum maculatum growing in it, so these were left, but the weeds were thined out.
Plnated with White and Apricot Foxgloves Digitalis purpurea, Hostas and Geraniums.
UPDATE The bloody slugs or snails have started eating my prize hostas! I’m off to get some spent coffee granules tomorrow!
I keep getting asked if I’ve updated my website or uploaded new pictures.
“A blog (short for web log) is a website where entries are made and displayed in a reverse chronological order.”
If you would like to be automatically updated when I’ve updated the blog, rather than asking me if I’ve updated it, uploaded new pictures or checking back regularly you may like to use an aggregator.
An aggregatoror or news aggregator or feed reader is client software that you install on your PC and uses web feed to retrieve syndicated web content such as blogs, podcasts, vlogs, and mainstream mass media websites, or in the case of a search aggregator, a customized set of search results.
Aggregators reduce the time and effort needed to regularly check websites for updates.
Aggregator features are being built into portal sites such as My Yahoo! and Google; modern web browsers; and e-mail programs. (Also known as RSS Readers).
So include the following URL into your Aggregators.

Set your Aggregator to update daily, and it will collect the new posts automatically.
A few blog readers have asked for more pictures of the garden. He are more pictures of the front garden, because we do not have a back garden!
Right of picture is the pear tree in blossom. In the foreground is the Magnolia, flowering has almost come to an end.
We planted 10kgs of daffodills in the lawn in November 2006, so we are waiting for them to die down, before cutting the entire lawn.
Has the chimney moved?
I’ve also completed and fixed some code, I’ve been working on for months, so the pictures displayed above are thumbnail versions of the original versions which are also stored on the blog server, they are “clickable”. So if you click the pictures you will see the original images before resizing to fit the blog.
and when we came back if looked like this:-
Lounge
Stairs and Stairwell
Landing
I need sunglasses now, to walk around the house, it’s bright! Lindsey probably now wants me to hang paintings, does it ever stop!
At a cost of over 250GBP UK pounds, here is the paint requried to paint the lounge, stairs and landing.
and it’s missing 10l which was required to do the ceiling, and 5l of finish for the woodwork.
Since we moved in last August 2006 after having the damp course fixed, we’ve been waiting for the walls to dry out, before we could decorate. A decorator has been found, and we’ve decided to have all the walls lined in the lounge, stairwell and landing, and then painted with antic white paint. (almost white but not quite). Esther’s booked into the cattery, and we are off to Plymouth for 10 days, whilst the decorator is in residence. Here are some photos before:-

I’ve fixed the RSS Feed for this blog…!

Oh and just when I thought I was flush with money this month, the gearbox in the Yellow Peril broke, it’s not been happy selecting 2nd Gear for over 12 months, and then it stopped going into 2nd Gear!
New gearbox required!
If you look carefully, the new silver thing is the new shiny gearbox! Hope this one does 157,000 miles!
Esther on Alfred!
We’ve finally worked out what one of the trees in our front garden is.
It’s a Magnolia Tree!
