A productive weekend - 13th and 14th August
On Friday evening, I sat down with a glass of wine in the knowledge that I'd won the War on Weeds. It may be temporary and there may be more wars to come, but I had managed it. Here's a little glimpse of how the weeds had taken over the pathways, as well as the beds.
I concentrated on the beds as they contain food - the weeds would slow down the growth of the plants and that means less food for us. So I had to prioritise. The pathways were unsightly but as the weed seeds would spread from them, they were tackled too. I've a video here closing the week out.
That freed us up on Saturday to be able to attend a Countryside show. It was only a 20 minute drive from us. £20 entry gave you access all day if you wanted, but as it wasn't huge and the rain started, we made a getaway after a few hours of enjoying the offerings.
We took little Rodney too - he had a fantastic time.
You can see the rain making its way over in the photos. A moody sky but an enjoyable few hours.
Back home and there was a tonne of work waiting for us. We have recently purchased a new multi purpose hedge trimmer come chainsaw, come brush cutter machine. It's petrol powered and needs a strong hand behind it. Thankfully Steven was on the job and we worked together, with me on clean up duty, to tidy up the hedges and trees. It looks so much neater and pleasing to be around.
We did have a few teething problems with it, which I will contact the company about however for the most part, it's a great tool to add to the collection.
After a lot of work, I took the opportunity to have a sit down and cuddle with Annie. That face!
