A walk on the wild side!

Back out into the garden today. The bed where the bird baths has become overrun with nettles, at the moment new growth at the bases but masses of dead ones. They were growing several feet high and didn’t really get controlled at all last year. I had no ide how hard the roots would be to get put! But before that had to clear the dead ones and the brambles that were rife as well. Also a bush they were round hd to be pruned.

I had three different piles, dead nettles and general debris, brambles and branches for the burning pile!

Gave up after over two hours and went in to have lunch.

After lunch I went out to get the piles moved and clear the tools away. Dragging the brambles down to the back I managed to trip and landed on my knees, ouch! I somehow got straight up again, just as well as Tina was out! When I got in, washing my hands I saw that my er was bleeding! Ended up being a bit of a wounded soldier!

Tina cleaned the ear up for me, not sure how I caught it.

I went to visit a friend this afternoon and managed to stay upright!
