More gardening.

The autumn clean up of the borders continues. It always produced a flurry of cuttings and side shoots to be potted up.  

Catching up.

Well it has been a while. We have swapped our motorhome and car for a bigger car and caravan. This has taken a while arranging! But all done and we have even had a weekend away in it to get used to the new arrangements. 

Today was the start of getting back to the garden. There are still flowers flowering and even lupins!

Work was interrupted by showers but the sun also shone. 

Hello GypsyRoseMay.

This is the new caravan. 

Farewell RosieMay.

RosieMay has gone to the great big caravan park on the sky. Well, 3As caravans in Carmarthen anyway. 

Here are some of the highlights of our trips with her. 

Swansea.

We seem to be seeing a lot of Swansea at the moment. It is where the car came from, it is where the tow bar was fitted and today I have towed a trailer around most of it. I managed not to hit anything/anybody and got some good practice in, ready for picking up the caravan on Monday. 

The visitors have gone...

to Tenby. So back to the garden. 

Making the visitors work....

but just a little. Making apple wine.

Visitors...

Tessa and Jock are here for a few days rest and relaxation. 

We have spent a happy hour discussing F1 and viewing their Silverstone souvenirs. 

A little light reading...

You know you have gone up market when your manuals are in a leather case!

Brmmm brmmmm.

Too busy collecting the new car to do any work....

Done.

All done except for the painting. Need a few dry days. 

Going, going, gone.

And good progress fitting the new gate.

Broadening our horizons.

As we will shortly be bringing a twenty four feet long caravan onto our 'pitch' we decided to widen the gateway. The decision was made much easier when we discovered we had a spare field gate that was exactly the correct size.

 By removing the concrete pillar and one leylandii we gain a lot of width. 

Tomorrow the stump and the pillar!

Farmers use bailer twine to tie things, retired IT guys use network cables!

More work at the cottage

and lots of telephone work following the change of car. 

A day at the keyboard.

No, not composing more tracks for my "Greatest Hits" collection but doing Quaker IT work. So here is a nice picture instead.
