And breathe

Our buyers dropped out!!!!!  

Not surprisingly, this has left us feeling all at sixes and sevens.  Despite that, we did manage to get some clearing done in the garage, and there's a pile of wood in the car to take to the recycling centre, where we may have to pay to dispose of it, but only a few pounds.

And then I spent some time washing wellies and other stuff.

But it's difficult to keep motivated.  No doubt we will find another buyer, but will our vendors in Ireland wait for us?

Meanwhile, the garden is really waking up - here is a Fritillaria imperialis, starting to flower.  And the newts are back in the pond.
