The "Wonky" Bedroom is getting some love: originally built in the 1680's (we think), nothing is square or plumb and the Horsehair and Lime Plaster on Reeds needs help! So a drop ceiling (to be plasterboarded) has been framed and a platform framed and boarded in the attic above. Should be ready for paint by the end of the week.

The Garden Elves visited last week to trim and tidy, and I hopefully cut the grass for the last time this year and mulched leaves as I went. With the New Doors and a tidy garden, the old pile of rocks is looking pretty good...

Between me, Mother Nature, the Gardeners and the Lawn Care Guys, the old pile of rocks is looking pretty good..!

After "Wilding" for the last 25 years, we've used the low water levels resulting from the lack of rain to climb/fall in and refresh the pond... Not a job for the faint hearted!

An Oasis of Green and Calm now that the sound of Lawn Mowers and W**d Whackers has abated... and time to enjoy it...

Amazing what a difference a little Black Dirt, Seed, Lawn Care, Rain and Sunshine can have on grass! Of course that means it needs cutting! Lucky I have Garden Elves that take care of that whilst I'm away...
