Paying it Forward

 2 - 4 April 2021

We have friends who are putting up a little cottage and have mobility issues, so, with Amanda's help, we spent a couple of days putting three coats of emulsion on their walls.

Amanda and Dave covered the large areas

Although Amanda's using a tiny roller.  I did the masking out and cutting in.  This suited everyone very well.

Then back to the garden: kale looking very lovely as it goes to seed

This is one of the Moringa trees that we had last year.  Overjoyed to see little shoots beginning to emerge - yay! they survived the winter.

This is our pond-watching area.  To the left of the chairs is a broadleaf oak that was a scrubby little shrub about a foot high when we moved to the land.  It is now a fair-sized, umbrella-shaped bit of cover in exactly the right place.  The lavender in front of the chairs is constantly swarming with different types of bees.

This is the overgrown aloe bed, before ...

... and after weeding
