:: bit of a potter in the soil ::

I feel like I haven't posted for ages, and that's probably because I haven't. Apart from a lack of action/motivation in these drizzly winter months, I've not been feeling my best. On the mend now I think.

One little excitement we've had is changing our front garden a bit. There were these big grassy bushes which I didn't really like, all mixed up with other weird bushes. Totally no aim to the game. So we ripped them up (massive job. Jason wacked at the root lump of those beasts for about 3 hours straight with the pick) and replaced them with a French lavender hedge (which you probably can hardly see.. the plants are just babies) and a row of rose standards (them lovely cottagey ones on sticks).

I absolutely loved working away in the sun with Jason. It was a very bonding experience. :)

Couple of before and afters:

(P.S. The letter box is still there in the right hand photo.. it's just a bit shiny :))
(P.P.S. Spot the Jason)


I'm looking forward to lovely iceberg roses and bunches of fresh lavender!
