Not within dog-reach

I did some gardening in the dark tonight as I realised the compost bins are due to be collected this week - And I wanted the bin stuffed full - the garden needs a serious ‘haircut’ all over.

It was so therapeutic.

Often today, I have wished I was at work. Our little 4-legged guest has been difficult. She’s helped herself to home made cookies cooling on a rack, she’s eaten a garden basket, demolished a garden pot and begun to repeatedly jump up at the chicken coop - even though her owners also own chickens.

I feel like I am babysitting a naughty toddler. Her owner is having a lovely time wandering around the gorgeous town of Bath.

I had hoped this week off work was going to be a rest.
