Some visitors today... This is a whole family of Starlings and maybe 2 families...not 100% sure but are they not beautiful birds? I love how the adults insist on feeding the young, even at the feeder and later witnessed the young fledglings trying to eat from the feeder themselves. They kept on visiting all afternoon and absolutely cleared out the feeders. Hopefully our garden will be a new destination for them.

Our new Kitchen shelves. We love these....made from reclaimed scaffolding board and some cast iron shelving brackets. Finished with light oak varnish and of course, Hornsea Pottery!

We are so excited, as new allotment owners/ patrons! We have our beds in place now, thanks to Emmy Keleher and Teresa Keleher and our paths and all our seedlings coming along in the greenhouse. Very exciting times!

So today has been very much a garden day...I sourced another water tank and I have placed it in position, with compost, cardboard and gravel and had a really good think on everything in the garden.
I decided that, yes I have empty pots now but they are waiting for beautiful new plants...I have areas where the dogs trample and I have to really think carefully about planting.
I moved my pittasporum bannow bay to the doorstep as a feature planter.
I have pulled plants out today that do not give me joy!
Controversially, they are in the "plant hospital" awaiting some attention. They have fresh compost and a new lease of life but when you have a very small container yarden, every plant must work for its place.
Anyway, the photos do not reflect the work. There has been angle grinding, sawing, digging today. Thank you , my hero. Even let me have a go with the angle grinder. ###

A few jobs in the little Yorkshire Garden this weekend. The jet-washing made a massive difference. Please don't think for one second that did it all, I did contribute and supervise accordingly. He is my hero though and I love that he accepts my OCD and crazy ways of doing things sometimes.
I even made us lift the outdoor bath, jet-wash underneath and behind and then place it back in position. I then did a deep clean of it with the .com.ua and what a great job it did!
Ready for outdoor spring baths waiting for the bats to come out of hibernation. 🦇

Another Rock and Roll Friday doing a pot preen, water, feed and reshuffle. Trying to maximise light in our cave.

A journey out to collect, yet another galvanised water tank for the garden - to use as a planter for the wisteria. I think it has outgrown the pot it is in and needs a good compost refresh.
We thought we would pop over to Southport 'beach' with the fur babies and feel the sea breeze on our faces. I do love a moody seascape!
