Extension Progress & more pot planting

The extension has windows we can look through in the bedroom and I managed to snap one before it got boarded up.


The triangular window is still missing. The joiner made it wrong once and is delaying the replacement. Our builder was incandescent on Friday about it when he went there after being fobbed off for a week and found it not in progress.


Also the bathtub is back in action - this time as herb garden after the old one was torn up for the extension (one of the duller photos in the World this one, but hey...) This includes Abigail's latest plant purchase and potting effort ;)

The Girls in action + a tap!

We are Victorian parents and the kids have little they can spend their pocket money on after banning tat (though even they have worked out that spending money on a bouncy ball that gets lost in 5 minutes is probably a bad idea) and sweets. Then last week they hit on the idea of buying flowers. This was not to be discouraged (brain washing starts here). They got in to it! Abigail planting pansies all over the garden then photographing them.





Actually I took this one. I love these tulips (parrot tulips?). Just one bulb migrated here from mum's garden with some daffodils and we now have about 8. They go really well with the blue thingy (forget-me-nots?)


Of course the really important thing was the completion of the new garden tap. This powers the cat scarer that power squirts half the garden on detection of a cat (or child!). I don't have a photo of that to hand but will add one later.
