All these lovely bushes, and the cherry trees!

They would have more of an impact if they weren’t half-buried in grass, wouldn’t they… But there are so, so many more interesting things to do in the garden than mowing the lawn! Especially since mowing is a solitary activity, whereas almost every other task – digging, planting, weeding, watering – I can do together with Adrian, who loves being out in the garden with me.

I should get the mowing done on a weekday so we can do more fun stuff outside in the weekend.
