I’m nearly there - nearly where? - Almost at the end of the
patio project.
Necessity has caused me to temporarily deviate from working
on the final part of the patio which will be a brick edge that will separate it from the shrubbery border. It will match the visible top part of the wall
on the lawn side.
My deviation of necessity today was to attend to a bay tree
that was impinging on the pathway to the patio. It had grown so large that it almost
completely blocked the pathway. I hadn’t cut it for a long time because
blackbirds had nested in it and I’ve been occupied with building the patio.
Because of being so preoccupied I let things
slip in the garden and at this time of year the growth of plants is prodigious.
The lawn at far end of the back garden looked a bit like a hay field,
especially in the vicinity of the pergola. In part this was due to running out
of line for the grass strimmer, which meant I could not attend to trimming the
grass. However, when I was at B&Q the other day I bought a packet of line
for replenishing the empty spools of my Qualcast strimmer.
Now that the bay tree has been attended to and the lawns
cut, the gardens look attractive once again. There are still more jobs to be
done, but they are not so pressing, which means I can focus on
finishing the patio.

Looking good Bill, and what makes me smile is seeing the ubiquitous green plastic chairs and table (I have a set myself) which must be taking over the world! I bet there is set near Cape Horn and another in the middle of the Gobi desert and ......
