...of the sky and our new bench. After days of monsoon-like rain (two weeks worth fell in 10 minutes on Newcastle the other day - naturally just at the time I was walking to the bus station) we've had a clear, blue sky day which has been perfect for getting on and finishing all those niggling jobs.
Ian (pictured above, proving the bench is not just for show) did a great job of finishing off his handiwork today, and it's the perfect height for people to get on and off easily. It also gives a lovely view of the garden from that spot.
Meanwhile, David got out the chainsaw to shatter everyone's peace and make a 'coffee table' out of some old sleepers to go inbetween our sofa and chair. Well, why not?!
I've managed to clear a very weedy spot to get the courgettes out of their pots and into the ground, and part of the green manure bed is now dug in. Four lavender bushes also have pride of place next to the hot bed (where the copper wire, hair and egg shells are having very little effect on the local mutant slugs and snails) and the climbing rose has a new home by the fence.
The strawberries have come into their own in the past few weeks and these really do taste as good as they look. We could do with a few more days of sun to sweeten them a little more, but I'm not complaining :)
