Mostly gardening

I went with Tina to open the parish hall early as there is a ceramics festival this weekend being held in there. Sher has organised it so saw her briefly. I went along to the shops as usual on a Saturday morning and then went out into the front garden to finish mowing the larger lawn. It was really hard going with the moss, so was stopping every now and again to use the strimmer an the mower couldn’t cope with it! So it ended up taking me getting on for two hours.
Tina had gone to a meeting in Leeds today so Darren and I went up to Freeport to have some lunch. We called in at the pottery studio and Rob said that I have another commission! Someone wanted to buy the Peter Rabbit and when she couldn’t they said they had someone who could paint one for her!
I went into the ceramics festival and did buy some things, but not to clutter up my shelves even more, all for gifts.
Then I went back into the garden, but this time the back. I felt it was time to get the sunflowers out, I hope they will survive but they definitely needed to be out of the pots. But a fair bit of work to do on the bed before I got planting.
I was leaving the foxgloves and the London pride in the bed so had to dig round them.
Then getting them in and hoping for the best, hopefully no gale force winds or torrential downpours for a couple of days!
That was a fair bit of work so not planning to do a lot this evening,

  1. Well I have say I still don’t think you should be mowing the front, specially with a hand mower, but stubborn bugger as you are you’ll do it anyway 🙂 It does look good though. I just hope you don’t suffer for it tomorrow!
    Lunch out again. It’s getting to be a habit for you these days. Good though ain’t it? 🙂 More painting to do too. You’ll never be at a loss for something to do. I hope you get paid well for these commissions. After all it’s a unique piece of artwork 🙂
    The bed looks so much better after a bit of TLC. I just hope the sunflowers survive. They look reasonably healthy, so fingers crossed 🤞
    Maybe a quieter day for you tomorrow…….yeah right 😂

  2. Looks like an enforced quieter day, raining steadily and looks like it has been for a while. So pleased I got quite a bit done yesterday.
    So booting is doubtful today so indoor jobs today, or maybe start a new book.🤷‍♂️
