2025 - What I did today

Interesting day today. After boot camp the boxing I went shopping. I new that if I spent £60 at Morries I would get 20% off equaling £12. I got a bit carried away and filled my trolley with things I thought I would like,but had never been prepared to experiment with. Finished up costing me £105 and that was after £26 off for offers. Loads of various meats including lamb,beef,duck.pork and king prawns.

After unloading shopping and playing 'Freezer Jenga' I decided to do somethng I have been meaning to do for a while! Half way up my garden I have two willows growing either side of a narrow part of my lawn. I decided to make a garden arch from some 1/2"steel I have lying around from another project. It is in 10 foot lengths that when bent to shape over my trusty anvil form one half of an 8 foot wide arch. I hammered 2 foot of 3/4" box section into the ground either side leaving 6 inches protruding. The 1/2" bar fits snugly inside.

Once the arch was up I secured the overlapping joint with gaffer tape temporarily (I will cut and butt weld it at some time in the future). I then startd to fasten the willows either side to the arch and will tie in as they grow.

To finish it off I wrapped solar lights around it, so can't wait for it to get dark and see the effect?
