The garden starts to take shape
A rather slow start to the day to Easter Monday. I seemed to have developed a mysterious hangover during the night, which necessitated staying in bed till 11. Lorraine and I eventually up fuelled by feverish desire to finish the little patio at the bottom of the garden. Drove to the garden centre again, buying more bags of North Sea cobbles, and Tweed pebbles and so on, and finished the job after quite a bit of cobble hefting. Both felt rather pleased with ourselves, backs intact too, and our garden beginning to take shape.
Beth continuing her dinosaur business, and dropped off her CV at the local pub too. It was a gorgeous day, and the gardens around us all lively with people and Lorraine had a nice chat with our nexties Caroline, Clem and young Orla who is mad for playing football.
A well-earned rest before we made off with Beth to Dawn's cottage in lovely Steyning. Loads of tiny flies clinging to the car for some reason. A lovely evening in Dawn's cottage, now beautiful with oak floor in the cozy front room, and heated by a wood burner. And the kitchen with stone flags. The view from the back of Dawn's place is breathtaking. She can simply walk from the back of her house walk across country and be up at the top of the Downs unhindered. As we stood there a boyfriend from her teenage years happened to walk across the field. Dawn's charming daughter Ellie is staying with her for a few weeks too, and the five of us had a good laugh, and tucked into fisherman's pie, and more of Beth's yummy hot cross bun version of bread and butter pudding. No photos though, which was a shame.
Below Lorraine making some finishing touches, and the patio. The middle picture also featuring Calliope if you look hard enough.
