Our Bush

Well the bush that was! Had a feast of gardening down over the Easter holidays in Austwick, not returning in time for a GETRA evening meeting on 16th! Andy was able to come up from Berkshire, a six hour drive, to stay for the Easter weekend and as you can see we were not idle! Andy treated the hedge cutting as "therapy" and I think named every thorn and cut after "colleagues" at work! A stress relief exercise! A somewhat compulsory visit to the pub on Friday got us no further than the main door as it was packed but not to be put off we returned on the Saturday afternoon for a drink and booked in for the Sunday roast lunch! What great weather it was too so the gardening and outdoor pursuits were rewarded by a long lunch and linger in the beer garden talking with visitors and taking in the sunshine!
This pyracantha bush had become a health and safety issue as Andy had fell trying to get past the damn thing, reached out to save himself and sustained cuts and thorns for his effort, so it had to go! Able to get rid of it in the morning fires, so burnt before the neighbours would be up and about! As I said I lingered until Thursday for garden furniture to be delivered and Tim to come back and finish the tree cutting, this is still to be done as again no show. Had a Settle firm come and measure up the house for vertical blinds so waiting for the estimate for this and of course the kitchen is still in the planning stages. In short getting there!
