A weekend project for Mr Motters?

I got bored with doing the decorating so I've been back at the woodwork. I've made the foot stools to match the chairs, so I can now sit out and relax in the garden, instead of abroad in a couple of weeks time.Colin

For most of the lock down we've been trying to get our unruly garden under control.

As we live on the edge of a forest we should really spend several hours a week stopping it from becoming a jungle.

Before retirement and Eriba we were able to manage it but since our long Spring breaks away with the Eriba, every year we have to work extra long to try and get it back into some order, weather permitting.

It's been a losing battle but with the luxury of all this good weather during lock down we've tried to get stuck in. Unfortunately however, we are no longer fit enought to spend long hours on it.

Over the weeks we have made inroads but are constantly having to worry about how we clear the debris. It would seem that country folk have nothing better to do than to complain about an occassional bonfire'.

Anyway, inspired by the tree felling of last weekend we decided to tidy our shed and rediscover some of our garden power tools. A quick sharpen of the chain saw and today I ventured into the side hedge which was about 15feet tall and a mixture of plants and brambles.

5 hours later and completely knackered, we can now see our beloved Eriba from the upstairs bedrooms and balcony of our house.

G n' T to celebrate. (still knackered though and probably will be for the rest of the week)

Yes, we're lucky. Vale of Neath looking south west towards the sea.
