Headless man in garden!

Laughed so much when I downloaded a few shots to choose one to publish and found Mr P has lost his head , poor man!

We've done quite a lot of work in the garden over the last few weeks. For the last couple of years our efforts have gone into the allotment and we have neglected the garden in that time.

This year we're putting that right. Quite a bit of the work is complete, patio repointed and some lattice screens made to camouflage the shed and refuse bins. I've been digging up some well loved plants and putting them into pots. We not getting any younger and we hope this revamped garden will virtually look after itself in the future ( who am I kidding!).

The latest job is to reroute a path so it's easier for Mr P to get his bike to the shed. Here Mr P has just marked out the cutting line so he can remove the turf, a horrible job but it needs to be done.

I laughed at this shot for two reasons, firstly his need for braces: at the offset of his illness he lost quite a bit of weight and had to buy new trousers and jeans. These are an old pair that just won't stay up on their own. So he's not a closet Bay City Roller fan! Secondly where's his head!
