With the days brightening its garden time. Today we put in four trees. Two Prunus and two Sorbus. They look lovely across the middle of the garden.

Then on to a baby border in front of the cabin. This is a conifer mix. There was definitely a building in this garden once, maybe a few. We found a concrete floor as well as a garden of glass. Makes digging very hard!

A long time ago we had BamBam, a competitor for the UKs fatest man (sorry strongest, my bad), who put a “weight studio” in the garage and subsequently dropped his weights on the floor every night without fail.
