We had a lovely sunny day today which came as a pleasant surprise.
I spent a lot of time in the garden and resisted the urge to do a few jobs like sawing wood and weeding. It was a really relaxing day,the cats kept me entertained and Ellen joined us for a while although her position was laying on the ground catching some rays.
As the afternoon wore on I decided to reward my lack of effort with a beer,that's when I noticed the cats under the recliner in the shade.


All in all a very nice peaceful afternoon,if the weather is fit I will start the wood cutting tomorrow but today was all about relaxing and planning my assault on the garden in the coming months. The fruit trees are going,I will hack them down to the ground drill holes in the root branches and apply some root killer. Come early spring they should be easy to remove,at least the blackcurrants will be the gooseberries along the back wall are a much tougher foe.



The plan is to plant some small flowering shrubs on that side and flatten the ground for grass which will take the mower instead of the strimmer.
