The sunshine really has been very welcome - a few days of warm unbroken sunshine does me wonders. I certainly don't mind waking up to this every morning.
Annoyingly I was in the shop on Saturday, so had to leave this all behind me and spend the day inside - that certainly is the worst bit of the job.
However I was out on my walk/run before 8.30 am this morning and out enjoying my breakfast in the garden on my return.
We've had our teatimes outside too - 3 nights in a row.
It really does make a big difference.
We've been busy on the bottom bit of garden too. Earlier in the week I managed to level out the bit reserved for a seating area and......
.....today we laid the weed mat down in preparation for the gravel arriving next Saturday. That is one job I am not looking forward to. Because of the access to the back, we have to wheelbarrow it up and down the back alley way. Rough estimate is 80 barrow loads!!! Come rain or shine it will have to be done - any helpers !?!
The veg patch is doing very well and I'm relieved to report the first bean has pushed it's way through. I was beginning to think they weren't going to show but patience.....
So the weekend is drawing to a close and the forecast is changeable for the week ahead. I do hope we are in for a good Summer and the last few days have just been a taster for the days ahead.
Have a good week.

Hi, having moved a half a ton of gravel on my own recently, I honestly would help you if I could... The day after I had moved it, the woman over the road commented that she had watched me do so, and had thought about coming over to help me, but decided not to.... Not my favourite neighbour any more!
Yes this weather makes such a difference! We too have had meals outside. It is wonderful to spend time in the garden. We just need a few solid weeks of this every year then we could cope with the winters much better. Treasure every day and make the most of it. It's all we can do! Mandy x
I always love the pretty bunting through your trees !! The veg patch looks very promising indeed ! I have been housebound with a knee injury for weeks but the other evening....very slowly...with frame and chair I managed to gingerly get myself out in our garden....I sat for over an hour just listening to the birds, feeling the breeze and watching the fading sunlight play on the leaves....it was bliss ! Isnt being a garden lovely !
That should of read being IN a garden !! I myself am not actually a garden !! Ha Ha.
HA! Debdor - hubby and I are planning out the best way to get it done as quickly as possible - it'll be hard work for sure - no offers of help from the kinds unsuprisingly
Too right Mandy - I sit out and enjoy the sunshine whenever I can - you never know when you will next see it x
I hope you feel better soon MargoBowBells - just the odd hour outside makes such a difference doesn't it. Feeling the warmth of the sunshine on your bones is the icing on the cake too
