bank holiday

Well bank holiday came and went far too quickly. We managed to achieve loads and have a skip that is half full of rubble and glass from our numerous sheds and greenhouses that we do not want. The garden is being retrieved. I seem to have managed to get covered in cuts and bruises tho which is not good. How I got half of them I really do not know. I have also put down an impromptu path made of bark chipping. Shame really cos it isnt done right so will eventually need to be redone. It was really an emergency since it was too muddy and slippy to be carrying glass panels from one end of the garden to the skip. Bearing in mind the garden is 83m long its a long walk with each pane of glass! Anyway was too dangerous so went and bought 6 bags of bark chipping and have to say it looks ace. We are going to add some edges and keep the path like this since it looks really good with the sort of rustic garden we have. We are also intending to rebuild one of the sheds on the boundary line since that way we can define our boundary and hopefully stop next door neighbour from stealing any more of our garden or chucking any more of our roses. The roses are on our land but are on her side of the fence since we put it up infront of the leylandii ( which are also ours) when we moved in since was winter, very rainy and we needed to secure the garden for the dogs. Anyway they are My roses and I intend to keep as many as I can. We have removed nearly all the leylandii now and have only about 10 left to cut down. WE are also considering cutting the apple tree down since if left where it is it will eventually destroy the fish pond with its roots. Oh and we have loads of gold coloured goldfish now since lots of teh babies are changing. The pond is now looking really good. The whole garden could be brilliant if we ever get to sort it out. Everything takes so much longer. I wish I could just wave a magic wand or wriggle my nose like Genie and just make it all happen. M found it very funny when next door neighbour is trimming the leylandii one minute then he comes along and cuts same tree down. yes not nice to laugh but shes nasty and a garden theif and also very nosey. Apparently shes one of these strange people who like leylandii and hate deciduous trees. Well they are our trees and they are being replaced with nice indigenous hedging come november time. Also we get all this free wood to burn on the woodburner. Alright has to be weathered or whatever its called first but in the end its all free wood! We are building a store for the wood too which we really need since have a pile that is about 10m long and 3m wide so far and more to come home.
