Yesterday I got out into the garden for the first time this month!
There's an old path that crosses the back garden, of which nothing remains except two lines of curb stones. So yesterday I dug up one of the lines of stones and stacked them with slabs I dug up last year. I'm getting quite a selection!
In the picture you can just see the other line, to the left of my excavations. It's supposed to be dry again tomorrow so maybe I'll manage to get that dug. The stones don't fit in the layout I'm gradually developing in my head, so they've got to go. Maybe I can re-use some of them as a base for another shed or a seating area down the bottom of the garden under the trees...
Also yesterday I got the little chainsaw out and cut down three straggly apple trees. I don't know what they were - maybe seedlings from the big tree - but the fruit wasn't worth eating. I've left a couple of feet of trunk on each of them for now, because I am thinking of digging out the roots.
It's frustrating that I haven't been able to get on with things for the last couple of weeks, there's loads to do and spring will be here soon! Even worse, we are currently living in a building site, with a full re-wire going on at the same time as a new kitchen build. Mutter mutter grumble grumble.
