Our new house -battling those agapanthus’es

Agapanthus…

Little agapanthus are sprouting up everywhere at the moment, but are easily dealt with by a good sharp spade, the problem been there are so many of them..

The bigger ones took hours of backbreaking work to remove until I worked out it’s easier to use a block and tackle..

On the plus side, I don’t need to work out at a gym or ride a push bike anymore to keep fit, which is why my bike is looking sorely neglected in the garage..

Our new house -little surprises everywhere

Our new house is a bit run down, it seems the former owner slowly got less active over some years, which means I keep finding new things around the house all the time.

I found a bird house that was hidden in an overgrown hedge.

An annoying chirping sound that lived in the garage. You would hear it just for a few seconds every now and then, which made it hard to find. It turned out to be a smoke alarm with a flat battery hidden in the rafters (it took me weeks to find that)

Lots of rotting wood about, the more I look around , the more I find..

I’ve started a reunion of all the garden ornaments scattered about the place.

And my constant companion around the gardens, is our new cat who follows me everywhere.
