Gas works !!

Last week the gas board,decided we nneded new pipes laying from the mains, so they ripped up part of the patio, and dug a couple of holes, in the yard,

Ok, if the work needs doing, well thats fair, but the dust, incovieniance, and small matter of the clematis (3) being ripped off a fence, was more than a little annoying !!

BUT... on the flip side, it has meant that instead i can paint the fence, which has not been done in over 4 years, and perhaps, we could get a rambling rose instead.?? decisions.....

The problem is the jungle, of Dahlia's, i thought what the hell i will plant about 8... thats eight pots, ... thats the patio covered, and now they are growing.... fast !! plus other new additions, the patio is looking like something from Jack and the Beanstalk !! i'm sure they will look better when they flower !!
