Still gonna pop to the garden centre today. Although the weather doesn't look too promising for the first week of my holiday.

Compost, plants and seeds all purchased. Just hope the weather holds off a bit so I can get out there during my 17 days off work. I resisted the temptation to buy the bag of pebbles to add to my painting pile.
 
Keep meaning to pop to the garden centre to look for some cowslips (I nurtured a clump all through the summer heat, but the dog weed on them in the early autumn and killed them off 😡)

Maybe this weekend?
 
Plants starting to show life, nice to see. Need to replace path down lawn in back garden to hang clothes out, jobs been needing done for years but this year its going to happen,
 
Not exactly in the garden but some interesting sights on the daily walk.

A sad reflection on society, rubbish along a riverside walk

A nice cheerful sight
 
Managed a couple of sessions today but overcast and a but nippy. Not sure if I will do more today don't want to undo the Chiropractor and Sports Massage Therapist good work.
Ordered some plug plants yesterday from my local Garden Centre due for delivery Thursday.
 
Bad that with rubbish, offenders should be given heavy fine & made to do litter picking duties for 12 months minimum.
And that's not the half of it, shopping trolleys, road cones, prams, electrical wiring, computer monitors, you name it, I'm quite surprised not to see a dead body which is becoming a common occurrence near here (in Coventry)
 
A dull overcast but bitterly cold today but have managed to do a bit more in the garden.

Goodness! Which side of Cov have bodies been found?
 
Overcast again but manged to get another couple of sessions in the garden.
 
It has been fabulous gardening weather for so many days now.
We went in search of an obelisk to give some height in the garden, but didn’t like any that we saw.
So I made this one from Willow, and the clematis is planted.

A bit wobbly wobbly as the willows were twisted but very pleased with it.
Did lots of lashing which took me back many years to being in the Guides, ‘quite a few’ years ago.
 
Garden's a tip. These pansies have been flowering since last year off and on. They are growing on top of Bluebell cat.
