Saturday jobs

While I was at art class hubby started on finishing the veggie garden area   



He moved the boundary a few weeks ago but the weather hadn’t been cooperating 

It’s really opened up the area so we have plans for more of the blue wicking beds 



My tulips are showing colour 
I’ve never grown them before so it’s very exciting to see them come up 



In class we have been working on an Australian outback scene.  I think this is finished but who knows I may turn up next week and decide to add something 

That’s the biggest trick to learn. When to stop 



After filling up the fire with more wood. Hanging a load of washing on a clothes horse to dry 
I’m back to this blanket. 
Row two of boarder. 
I hope to finish this today so I can start on something new 



The telly is full of the passing of  Queen Elizabeth 11  
She was a constant in our lives for so long. 
She kept her vow to serve for as long as she lived. 
May she now rest in peace

  2. We make them. We will use the half barrel and you make a reservoir at the bottom that you fill with water and it wicks up to the plants. You can search it in YouTube they’re very easy to make and are great for our hot summers
