Day 218 Sunday 5th August: I went with Roland today to mums house to finish tidying the bit he'd cleared up. He was certainly happy that part was finally finished. Even though they had tidied yesterday we filled 2 brown bins with debris and started a new compost heap with the smaller stuff as well as throwing polystyrene, cans and crisps and sweet packets in the bin.
Dad used to have a brilliant compost heap in the corner of the garden that he would spread on his borders and cover his rhubarb in the Spring. No rhubarb left now and you could hardly call the borders borders any more.
But Roland is really happy with what has been done so far.

 Happiness in the garden seeing everything cleared.
 Mixed feelings about this picture
Happiness  seeing this baby hedgehog but concerned
because hedgehogs shouldn't be out in the daytime.
I hope it's not ill.

Happiness that the Budlea is out in our garden so bees can gather their nectar.

  1. Our last neighbours used to have budlea everywhere and I loved seeing the butterflies. Our new neighbours ripped them all out- must try to find a spot for a small plant in our garden.

    1. Kim just remember some varieties are not at all small but I wouldn't be without ours. We haven't seen many butterflies this year, I think it is because of the weather
