- despite having some very hot weather, each day a little more was cleared, a few more big weeds and out of control plants tended to. As the main approach to the front door, I was determined to get this sorted - something most people would probably get done over a weekend took me a month. It took perseverance, and as well as about which new plants should be purchased and what they would look like once fully grown.

Playpen chickens!

The neighbour was having trees felled behind the house, to keep the ladies safe from falling branches and the noise of the chainsaw, they had a temporary home made on the front lawn for the day.
