A busy day

This morning I went out to attack the brambles in the back garden at the side of the house. Took some photos today. Not easy to make out just how overrun it was.
Went in for a break when I got this far!
I got the huge bad that the stones had come in out and transferred all the brambles into it. Then I piled ll the dry stuff into the wheelbarrow, two loads, nd took them down to the burning pile.
Could do with a bit more work, but felt like progress.
After lunch I went for a walk, I went to the park and walked down the lovely new path that had been laid, and did a sketch while I was there.
I carried on to see the sea.

  1. A morning of graft for you then! I think brambles, with roses a close second are the worst things to clear up when they’re overgrown! Did it with roses once. Never again. I think that’s what put me off gardening for life 😊 🌹 Looks like you’re getting there though. It’s looking good and you do have a LOT of trimmings!
    You’re lucky that they bother to lay new paths your way. It looks well laid and should last a very long time. They don’t seem to bother here.
    The sketch is very nice. Not sure if I should ask how long it took. Not too long I bet 🙂
    Nice by the sea today. A bit calmer and sunnier than of late. Roll on summer!

  2. Luckily we haven got many rose bushes!
    It was a lovely day but deceivingly cold.
    That path was needed as the grass used to get quite wet and it is quite a slope down.
