Summer seems to have arrived at last. That hasn't been too good for my jewellery making so far because the garden has been a bit neglected and I've been taking advantage of the decent weather to get it back into shape. I've spent three days in the garden over the last week doing a bit of weeding and tidying up so I now have sore hands with grimy finger nails (yuck) and a full garden recycling bin. On the other hand I have a garden that's a pleasure to sit in now. The Boy got the lawnmower out yesterday as well so the grass is neat, if a tad dry looking. How it looks dry with all the rain we get here is a mystery to me. Look:
To celebrate (and also because I'd forgotten to take anything out of the freezer for dinner) we had a barbecue yesterday afternoon. It's not a big garden but it's private and now that the trees in the church yard next door have been cut back it's also a little sun trap.
I planted out some herbs and put some seeds in pots so hopefully we'll be able use our own home grown herbs soon.
Right, it's time I was out there taking advantage of the sun. The Boy is away to Glentress to throw himself and his bike down a mountain. I prefer the more sedate, less dangerous environment of the cycle path. The biggest danger there is families with dogs and small children who wander all over the path. A couple of weeks ago some idiotic dog owners left their small highland terrier off it's leash and failed to control it as I passed by so that it chased me, barking it silly little head off, until I managed to outrun it and leave it behind. I think they got a bigger fright than I did.
