Pruning and traffic jam

 This morning I went out to prune the hydrangea which is enormous. The fence man needs two feet between the hydrangea and the metal fence. I wasn’t sure the base of the plant was two feet away and although it is hard to tell from the photos there was as much of the plnt on the other side of the metal fence as there was this side.

When I was getting the tools out I noticed that the tiny spider I re-homes by the shed had built a really large web.

When I had finished I couldn’t take an after one of the first photo and the pile of branches was in the way!

There was bramble in the hydrangea which made it more tricky and the bramble root probably needs digging out, but not by me!

After lunch I did a bit of jigsaw and some prep for this evenings dinner. Then Darren and I went to Dobbies, had a drink and I bought some bits. An amaryllis, as I don’t have enough plants, some recycled wrapping paper, a diary and some bulbs for St Ninians.

On the way back we got stuck in traffic as there was yet another bad accident on the A9. The road was closed nd traffic was being diverted through Birnam in both directions. It was chaos!

We had dinner late, so I managed to see the Strictly results show while it was cooking. Neely bed time now.
