I'm enjoying the last few days of the garden... it won't look like this later in the week! The patio, and everything on it, will be the first to go; pots and furniture to the bottom of the garden, papers to be stacked somewhere for later, and as for the border, I shall just have to look away!
I've moved my herb pots to the front door
They are all supermarket herbs, and cuttings (apart from the geranium!).
I'm hoping they can bevjoined by a bay tree - small bush really - which is probably completely toot bound in its wooden half barrel. I say hoping; a couple of our half barrels totally disassembled themselves when the iron hoops dropped, enabling the wooden staves to open like flower petals and cease being any use as a plant container. I've a replacement tub in mind should this happen to ours, or we might make hurried trip to a garden centre.
I will be able to reach the herbs easily by the door; if they were moved to the bottom of the garden with everything else then that wouldn't be at all convenient.
We've hung new bedroom curtains! They are nothing flamboyant. I refuse to spend money on expensive bedroom curtains when we hardly see them! They will improve the look of the room though; the light had faded and rotted the red blackout curtains we've replaced. I never liked them anyway; we bought them in a hurry because neighbours had installed a motion sensitive security camera which was reacting to every passing fox, waking us up several times a night. Both the neighbours and the light have changed, so at last we can go back to ordinary lined curtains. No picture yet...
We've also played with our new 'toy'; BB had the joy of assembling it, fitting all the pieces together (he does enjoy making up kits) and then we took turns...
It's a Flash Spraymop! And it made very short work indeed of the kitchen and bathroom floors, without leaving them too damp. We could be entering a new era of cleanliness around here...
