2021 - 52 weeks of doing something different

This week I made a proper edge to one of my flower beds - it is on a slope so the earth & mulch slides off onto a path.
Buying some proper solid edging was never going to happen, so originally I tried ignoring the problem, just pushing the compost back on, then I put in some thin wooden boards scabbed from a delivery. They lasted about 18 months.
Then in December our neighbour had his roof re-tiled and they also took down the unused chimney stack so we begged the bricks for edging this border.

   
   

And I was delighted to find they had a maker's stamp; they are local and from quite an illustrious brickworks, sadly no longer functioning. But at least we get to keep a bit of heritage, rather than it disappearing into hardcore!
   

Interestingly, most of the houses around here are too poor to have been built from the bricks, but from the boulders that come out of the clay used to make the bricks!
