Job's Worth


I was hoping to report on our sign, but The Man from Ascham Homes was less than helpful, and has responded to my polite request to move his sign by saying he won't and has now added another sign to our wall. I have been keeping our councillor informed about this, but Miranda has agreed to attend the next Community Council Meeting with me, so I'll bring it up again. Did anyone else notice that the picture of our garden was featured in a Labour Party newsletter? We are hoping to renew the edging to the paths this year, Mick has some good ideas we can discuss at the Garden Party which I will shortly be organising, as we did not have one at Christmas this year.

The Spring has sprung...

I was reminded by an e-mail from Ivan that I haven't been keeping the blog up to date, so here we go again.
Spring has really arrived in the garden, the daffodils have made a lovely show and even the little ones round the centre bed did not let us down, which was a bit of a relief as Ivan and Carol had reported that they hadn't had much success with these.
We did suffer some very low key vandalism on Mothers' Day, luckily Miranda was around to point out to the boy and girl who helped themselves to a free bunch of flowers that they had picked enough. Michael later reported a second urchin who helped himself about half an hour later. Let's hope we made two mums happy.
