Keith has been busy in the garden. He began with another bonfire
The balustrade has been finished, and he has planted some geraniums and some herbs. Thanks again to Angela & Nigel, who gave us a beautiful rhodedendron that took a battering in the rain, but has perked up again. I'm afraid that the garden pictures don't do justice to the borders, where the plants are beginning to look at home. The leylandii trunks still look very bare, but you can just see the ivy & climbing hydrangeas that we hope will cover them.
I took a picture of mother duck with her brood, but some have since fallen prey to pike or other predators and only one remains.
The rain has been so persistent that some of the ducks needed to seek shelter. You can just see the duck to the right, with 2 drakes standing guard.
