Garden and oops!

After an early trip to the shop I went out to carry on with clearing the paths in the walled garden. The duck water feature wasn’t working so well today so thought I would change the water, but cleaning it out I managed to knock the duck and babies onto the ground and it broke. The mother duck with her umbrella was now detached! She would still balance on and the fountain still worked but I knew I would have to try and get it one piece again. But I left it for the moment and got n with the weeding. Pandora was out with me keeping an eye on things!

Paul arrived to do the finishing touches to the panels, it took a while but he has done a great job. I decided to go and do some more hoeing at the area near the wall in the back garden. Not about three feet high like it used to be when we first arrived, but getting very weedy. Trouble is that now it has bulbs and shrubs clearing is more tricky. Some of the daffy didn’t survive, but they will be back next year.. looking a bit tidier now.

I went over to Countdown to get some glue, Darren had suggested Araldite  but they didn’t have any. Terry in the shop looked at the various glues with me and we found one for ceramics which is water resistant so got some of that. Did buy some plants a well.

Darren and I had talked about going out maybe for e a coffee somewhere and Tina was in and the three of us went to Freeport, had a drink and a wander round The Works. Then we drove up to Mappleton as Freeport is in the same direction. We managed to get a parking place although there were quite a few cars there today.

I see no ships!

We got fish and chips on the way back and they were very tasty.

I mended the water feature after tea and hope that the glue will do the trick.

I have had three quite busy days now, the knee hasn’t been great but I am still managing to do what I want to do so mustn’t complain.

The final episode of Grantchester for this series tonight.
