Blooms and Bushes



The garden at our new temporary abode is a lovely mix of cottage garden and structural exotics though it's all looking a bit shabby now that winter has hit.

Clutching at straws



We've had a steady rate of about nine eggs per week from our three mature hens - not unreasonable now that the weather is cooling. We're now getting more eggs - eleven plus each week including smaller eggs like the paler one at the top right. So I'm hoping that our little hen has now come into lay a little bit sooner than expected.

Shrinkwrapped!



...and stripped bare...



The downstairs laundry and toilet knocked through...



The roof trusses upstairs with all the imperial measurements and calculations from when the house was built in 1968...



The upstairs shower still standing...

A Giant Leap...

Weedeaters


I wasn't sure what to do with the weeds that I pulled out at our new temporary abode seeing as our weed tea barrels aren't readily accessible now. But then I realised that I had two furry waste disposal units in the back garden.
