Over the hedge

The hedge in the front garden was disgraceful. I'd turned a blind eye to its rampant growth for too long, so yesterday when the sun shone, i decided it was the day for a bit of hard work. Shears out, gloves on and 3 hours later I had something more presentable, and can now get up the path without having to push back the Amazonian undergrowth. I couldn't bear to show a photo of how awful it was, suffice to say I had another 5 trugs full to add to these 2

That's better

Afterwards I enjoyed this wonderfully perfumed honeysuckle; I wish blogging allowed me to bring the scent to you, it's delectable!

Smiled at these fuchsia which remind me of old-fashioned boiled sweets

Noticed 2 lovely new rosebuds

Then I enjoyed a well-earned treat!

Lovely!

And watched the evening sky turn pink

The neighbours will have been chattering. The guy across the road from us actually went into his next door neighbour's garden and cut his side of the hedge while the guy was on holiday. Good job done, you deserved that ice cream and can hold your head up in the road now.
