Ponderings

Just a reminder that this is how the pond looked in January - nicely full of water but otherwise unfinished.



And below is how it looks now.  Actually, it's moved on since this pic as we have started to fill the bog garden with earth. We also snuck out and got some water plants, doubtless fish will spontaneously appear now.














 And here is the proof that the stable roof works have commenced, and a quick view of the primrose bank.

Finally for today, a shot from a few weeks ago of the magnolia stellata putting up a grand show in its first spring.

Up on the Roof

Ever seen a thatched cottage with straw pheasants on the roof?  In Tytherley we take a slightly different approach.  I blinked a bit the first time I saw this...

Sound of Silence

...apologies for the pause in posting - somehow it seems to be over a month since we last posted.  Don't worry, we've stopped [paid] work getting so much in the way now, and there is progress to report along with pics of the latest gubbins.  And indeed, some will be reported shortly... Trailer deemed suitable for all ages: Thrill to pond action!  Hear about stuff growing!! And excitingly, finally the stable reroofing project is underway!!!
