A coffee break while taking advantage of some nicer weather to harvest Sprouts and sort next year and the year after’s woodpiles. The Hydrangea, curly Hazel branches and remaining beech leaves glow in the sun, a frog is disturbed and hops away past the emerging snowdrops.

The Doings of Dull Days

Winter is here, so it’s time to sort out structures, prepare for next year and enjoy the subdued colours. The platform down the hill has a new floor and roof, the old sycamore is becoming a totem with an owl at the top. Paths and steps have been repaired, beds have been weeded and mulched. A whole raft of pruning is underway and cuttings are developing. Even when inside, you walk past a window or glass door and pause for a view that brings a smile.

There is a sycamore tree down the garden that was built into the platform. Now we have a bigger variety of native trees, we have decided to try to stop the sycamore growing and give the others more chance. It is currently turning into a carved pole with a tawny owl at the top. Having had fewer pheasants over the summer, a family of six suddenly appeared and have been back all the time since. In such a big garden it is often hard to keep up with general maintenance, especially when health problems interfere, Now we have some help and have started to catch up again, cleaning and retreating decks steps and home made furmiture.
