Last year we had an aerial photo taken of the house + paddock - we realised how much land had been lost through overgrown hedges and trees -
So yesterday and today we cracked on!
Now the hens are having a good scrat about!
Needless to say, yet again I feel quite tired, but a hot bath will soon sort that one out. Whilst I was writing this we received a telephone call to say the new door + window for the kitchen were ready - so we nipped round to collected them and they are now in the shed. All being well they will be fit next weekend. Once they are fit we can make the next move with the kitchen. Meanwhile in the snug we are discussing lighting which Jon will sort out the next bad weather day.
Another busy few days here - but the garden and paddock are certainly looking much better.
The hens seem to be enjoying the new space! You put me to shame being so busy!

Nuts in May
Maggie - thanks - we have to make the most of it when Jon is at home. It looks as though he may be working some of the weekend, definately Monday so we do what we can, when we can.
ReplyDeleteI know all about the hedge thing, we gained about 4 feet of garden all the way down when we hacked back the sleeping beauty style hedge.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your next lot of photos.
It looks wonderful - happy hens lay happy eggs;-)
ReplyDeleteGoodness, you've been busy there - love the hens! Thanks for popping over to my blog and for leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteYou are tired? I'm tired just watching all this happen!

Wow! You have so much energy! But then sometimes it can be fun when you have someone to share the workload and the joy from the outcome. Looking great! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks so much better and the chickens look very happy !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Great idea to be outdoors in the good weather, and looks like you made terrific progress. Adding some fresh air to the mix will help balance out the dusty days. Such a good idea to have an aerial perspective of your property, which has helped you see it in a new light.
ReplyDeleteThe chuuks look happy enough! Imagine Bridlington at 19 degrees in March!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a spot of gardening to make you feel good is there.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy again - the hens look happy to have new areas to scrat! When we moved here, we took out a really thick, overgrown hedge - and gained a flower border about a metre deep! Have a good weekend! Abby x
ReplyDeleteWhat a big spring cleaning ! We did yesterday our patio with the Karcher. Now it looks fresh again an the moss is gone !
ReplyDeleteCould you please send me the rota for ABC I lost it and didn't get any answer from you on my email.
It's amazing how much more ground you have when you clear away dead and unwanted shrubs and so on isn't it? When we moved here there was a row of the dreaded leylandii down one side of the garden. They were on the north side so didn't shade the garden from sun, but they were so oppressive. Once we cut them down, not only did we have a much lighter and airier garden, we also had another huge planting area, over six feet deep and fifty feet long!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment re picture rails by the way.
Your hens will love you for that, I bet they've had a good scratch around.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful when you find your garden again! And didn't that hot bath feel woderful!
ReplyDeleteHasn't the weather been just lovely this week? We've been out in the garden too.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and I love it and the chicks! We share a lot of the same passions.....GARDENING and remodeling the story of my life hehe! Check me out if you like my blog I always follow back :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIts been so lovely the last few days it has been worth being out in the garden!
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy to let bushes get out of control.
I love your chickens and miss mine :o(
That looks much better :) It's something we hope to crack on with this year, reclaiming land from our hedges.
