Revolution in the Garden

My Dad used the expression "Its part of the glorious 20 year plan" to explain why things never really got done.

Its a very good time period and, in our case, is now up! We have lived in this house for 20 years so now have the imperative to make big changes that have only been fermenting in my head until now. Grown up children, overgrown-up garden, wrecked sheds etc. SOMETHING MUST HAPPEN!



First to go was the Wendy house, second hand in 1999, now with no front, rotting floor and collapsing side panels with attached woodlice.



That left an empty grubby space with the back of the rescued shed (from the end of the garden with three strong walls and a new corrugated plastic roof but so far no floor or front.


Painting it seaside blue, knocking down part of the ornamental patio wall and building a triangular bed with soil and raspberry bushes transplanted from elsewhere in the garden produced this.



And scrap bunting added to rest of the atmosphere.





More, more, more... what's next to go?
