Spring time

Here is Clive the gardening cat in the lavender.




I am trying to get my garden all neat and tidy for 'The Garden Tour' in a couple of weeks........































This chook has 12 chickens.........








Finally finished my Kaffe Fasset socks!









I painted the towel rail and basket drawers my dulux blue green which I paint everything...........











My ever faithful poodle always finds something of mine to snuggle on. She has taught me to pick up my clothes or she drags intimate items out into the kitchen entrance to our house which can be very embarassing!











Our lambies.........

Neglected Garden

My garden is sadly neglected AGAIN....... drat it....my house painting is all consuming. I am hoping to get jasmine and a lovely white climbing iceberg rose to clamber up around the dovecote which is looking very stark and extraordinary at the moment.........
