How Green Is My... ?

After recently having my fence done, (sore point and DO NOT mention my neighbours!!) I had some gardeners in yesterday to clear out my garden of overgrowth and debris. Lucy's rubbish tip, which she used to go rolling in and come out of it whiffing of leaves and stuff but happy as a pig in muck and very pleased with her little self finally went! But apparently there is a huuuuge wasps nest down there right now. I maybe moving, rather than social services adapting my home, so if that does happen my long term plans with THIS garden will likely be redundant. But, even if I do move its likely I will be here at least a few more months yet, including the summer months, so shall continue to get it knocked into shape. I have a pine table that I was using for my puter but now are not any more that I'm going to ask a helpful neighbour if he will put it down the bottom of the garden, where those trees down there when in full leaf create a bit of a sun shield, so that I can sit out come the better weather. But, its looking more respectable than I remember seeing it before. As my dad with his age had rather let it go. People are normally gobsmacked somewhat, or they were when my dad was here, when they would come and comment on the garden size, and dad would tell them that four years ago, the first cut of the year when the grass was hugely overgrown and hard to cut, yours truly had mowed it within 20 minutes. But, hey ho. I can't get a great picture, but this kind of captures the "greeness" and plan to get some shrubs and stuff to have bedded out in it, which will give it some colour.

As the picture shows, its a dark and gloomy day here in England. So, I shall go make a pig sandwich to cheer myself up!!
