Hello Dear Reader,
It's done!
Sorry, there are no chickens, or veggie patch just a lawn to sunbathe on, or sit in a deck chair and read a book. When we downsized, I wanted more time for walking, spending with friends, going on walks, the gym, running or crafting. Neither Dearly Beloved and I are great gardeners. This suits us just fine.
Two small trees came out, as did a lot of shrubs. The trees will be burnt in the stove, the shrubs were moved or Freecycled. We will add borders later but for now, a quick wizz up and down with the lawn mower and it will be done. Our next job will be to relay our slate patio and add a few more slate slabs to extend it under the shed. The turf was a lot cheaper than you would imagine and we bought it locally.
We have a whole pile of wood to sort and rocks we removed from the garden. A few more trips to the recycling centre (the tip) and another of our house renovation projects will be complete. I will be planting out the border in front of the lawn over time as and when I can afford to.
It's not quite a bowling green fit for Francis Drake but we are delighted to have a low maintenance garden. As I'm typing, we've had thunder and rain. Sorry if you are at Glastonbury but we could do with rain all night.
Over to you, have you ever drastically changed something in your life to make it a whole lot easier?
We have lots of thrifty fun planned for our weekend and I'll be back to share with you.
Have a lovely evening and I'll see you tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
