Lindsey didn’t like the shape of the border! So out with the spade, fork and edging tool again.
Ground has been marked out and cut with edging tool.
Grass sods removed and bagged, to take down the local tip, the last time I did this in two car runs, I almost snapped the back axel on the car! Doesn’t seem alot of grass removed but each bag weighs approx 50kg! We will see if the car still works afterwards this week, and Lindsey wonders why the car, makes new noises, with 164,000 miles on the clock, and used as a tractor! I don’t think you can make out my the stainless steel edger (which is bent!) and new Stainless Steel fork, with a 10 year guarantee – nice! Well it’s nice to have, good tools!

Some friends visited us for cream teas on Sunday afternoon (with real Devon clotted cream, none of this crap artificial stuff out of a can!) and in return for signing and witnessing their new wills before they go on holiday! they gave us some new plants from their Plant Nursery for the garden.
So Andy’s had to dig and expand the border to accomodate them all!
Before
After, the border still needs digging over, soil improver adding, and the plants planting!
Thanks to Julie and Pete for the plants!

It’s been 12 months today, since we moved into the house. Still lots to do, the lounge is almost finished, I was going to post a few more entries of DIY around the house, but I didn’t think hanging up pictures and the mirror was very exciting, so I didn’t bother. The three wall lights we purchased were all smashed, so they were returned to the shop for a full refund, and we’ve ordered three new wall lights from another lighting shop, the wall lights ordered should be with us, by the end of the week.
Angus and Tilda are growing, and getting up to more mischief, as they are learning bad habits from Esther.

We’ve just started to let the kittens out in the house during the day with Esther.
Growing and up to more mischief. I think we were lucky to get Angus back from the cattery the other week, because the owner loved him so much!
It’s all quiet as Angus and Tilly are asleep!

Not really done much with DIY, I’ve been adding more fish tanks in the fish house, and generally tidying up the fish house.
We’ve found some wall lights for the lounge, so the lounge decoration is almost finished, and then there is the curtain rails to fix!

Angus and Tilda, are a little better with Esther. Angus now plays a little with Esther, but I don’t think Esther understands he’s only 12 weeks old. Tilda is still occasionally hisses at Esther. They’ve had all their innoculations now, and have finished Felix Chicken cat food, and are now on Hill’s Science Kitten dry food.

The yellow patches are the result of cutting the grass very late, after letting the the daffodils die back. I’m hoping to get some lawn fertiliser on the lawn in the next few days, which I’m hoping should put some colour back!

This is my new organic, environmentally friendly, weapon against slugs and snails.
Let me introduce you to Mrs Tiggy-winkle
and for those of you who don’t read Beatrix Potter, shame on you, it’s a young Hedgehog that has decided to visit the garden to eat those pesky slugs and snails! I hope she’s road-wise!
The Slug Gone and Copper Rings have worked very well, and my Hostas are doing much better, or is it the work of Mrs Tiggy-winkle?
