Bit of gardening and little ride out.

This morning, although it was bright and still very windy I decided to get out and do a bit in the back garden. I was going to tackle the fruit bushes bed I started on the other day but first of all thought I should cut back the triffid thistles that have completely smothered the small apple tree.

Took the after photo from a different angle, but you can see the tree now, thankful for some light and the pile of triffid behind it!

I didn’t take a picture before I started on the fruit bush bed, I am trying to convince myself that I have done about half now! It was hard going, deep digging with some very long rooted weeds and brambles.

I sat in the greenhouse having a rest, both cats had been with me in the garden. Pandora was resting just outside the door.

Then she was watching Blue drink from the bird bath and still keeping an eye on her as she came to join me in the greenhouse!

After lunch Tina said she had some cards to drop off and di I fancy a ride out. We went along to Mappleton when she had dropped off her cards, it was very busy up there but I got out of the car long enough to take a couple of pictures. The cliffs have eroded quite a lot more since we were last there.

Tina had heard that Mr Moo’s had reopened for take away cones and drinks so she drove there. It wasn’t too busy and she got us a cone each to eat in the car. The wind was ferocious and getting stronger, there were seeds on a tree in front of the car, maybe cherries. One of them still and one with the leaves horizontal with the wind, which was rocking the car with us both sat in it!

After the link up with the American branch of the family and before I got dinner I had a little play with the hair chalks which arrived today!

Twenty four colours, they are going to be fun!

Will finish tonight with a picture taken by Anya on her evening walk in Peterborough.
