NO PAIN, NO GAIN

The weekend was spent with a chainsaw and hedge trimmer. We chopped and trimmed until the days were done, burned an astonishingly large pile of plant material and a fair few calories too. Today I look like I have a pet wild cat or self harm issues: scratched, splintered and aching.

PROGRESS IN THE ROSE GARDEN

I have targeted the rose garden first, finding the right hand hedge to be a bramble and ivy haven, with some substantial conifers in the undergrowth. It’s all going: much as I love blackberry crumble; I very much dislike the nasty spiky bramble. Unfortunately the chainsaw broke down before it was excused so the desired effect has not been cultivated by the time Sunday drew to a close.  Still, I am thrilled by the feeling of accomplishment and the promise of all the power training I am getting – no gym membership could possibly compare.
