The recovery of a garden from neglect as I looked after my wife, Glen, 'Pippy', in her terminal illness. The garden was her refuge and her love. As she was mine.

Impromptu Barbequ
A warm evening, so we had a BBQ for the first time this year. It was as easy as 'cooking' when it was unfussy and just for Genie and me.

Some Jobs Can Wait
This is an ivy overgrowing the outhouse. My best excuse for not tackling it is the blackbirds nest just above the door.
Anyway, it's too nice a day.

A Sunny Sunday
Lawn mowed, croquet set-up. I would love to say I beat Genie with a cup of tea in hand, but I could only manage an honourable draw.

Tidying and Playing
A late start yesterday, but I've run out of excuses not to tidy the path into the veg plot. Genie livened things up later by pretending to do some work:
We had a go at making a bean wigwam (in anticipation of the yet-to-show runner bean plants). Couldn't find a roll of string for love nor money, but found some electrical wire ties. Not massively pleased with the semi-completed result, but we've got a little while yet to improve it.
