I took advantage of the glorious sun this week to blitz my back yard. For such a tiny space the amount of stuff it contains is huge, not helped by everything getting randomly piled up when we had the side wall rendered in the autumn. Topped off with a few split sacks of coal and it was a horrid job lurking on the to do list. It took about five hours but at last it was in a fit enough state for me to have a belated but sunny lunch with Freddie sunbathing at my feet.
Well worth it in the end...and now I can reach the washing line again!

Before, or actually part way through...

and after. The poor plants looked so happy to be clear of all the rubbish at last. I removed so many slugs and snails it was unbelievable.
