Lamp-post

We got another Anglepoise! My dad got this somewhere and brought it on the bus to me at work.

It's another red one but I don't mind. This does make us a 4 Anglepoise lamp household, but I think there are probably worse things to be.

The cherry harvest

Our neighbour's cherry tree hangs into our garden and she said it would be OK to pick some.

 We got quite a haul. They're pretty sour and need cooking. We might infuse in booze. 

 I'd like to say this one had my name on it, but it just had my initial, and I threw it away because it looked a bit festy.

We also planted out some tomatoes. They weren't looking too happy in the out-house, so this is their final chance.

An admission of inactivity

We haven't updated the blog for a while. That's because we haven't done anything round the house for a while. But that doesn't mean things haven't been happening without us.

The mini greenhouse certainly has done it's job this summer, it's little charges have grown rather well!

Not tons of toms though. I blame the late summer. Fingers crossed these little beauties ripen up soon.

Dressing-gown home

First blog post since May! What naughty homeowners we are. Our dry spell has been ended by Jon putting up a hook on our bedroom door.

Door sans hook (our dressing-gowns basically lived on the floor)

New hook, from Mum Guthrie

Our AMAZING DRILL that we now use whenever we can, even for the smallest jobs

Ta da! Dressing-gowns are happy.

Bank Holiday Sunday

Hannah spent another Bank Holiday in the garden. This time, sowing some seeds and that.
I made a video so that I could pretend to be productive, rather than having to help in the garden.

A sunny bank holiday well spent

It was a sunny day so Jon finished off the mini greenhouse! while I planted lots of seeds to fill it up.

We found some bed slats that someone was throwing out the other day, so clever Jon used his workmate and our new super drill/screwdriver to make a shelf structure to fit inside the greenhouse.

Amazing!!

Always listen to your Mum

Some time ago I asked if anyone knew what these surprise plants were. Were they weeds? Or something lovely that was hiding all along, an unexpected present from the former owners?

Well it turns out that Mum Guthrie was right and they are in fact anemones, not the sea creatures but these lovely flowers. They are truly gorgeous and a very nice addition to the Garden of Love, thank you former owners!
