Wow, what a difference 2 weeks make. The wisteria has come out in force over the last couple of weeks and the smell in intoxicating. In fact although the knot garden is looking a bit tired the colours and smell from there and also the wallflowers in the public garden make this place the most wonderfully colourful and fragrant place to work. Oh for smelly vision!!
The team
Will was away at a wedding, so Paul and Emma held the reins for the weekend. Due to his absence, the knot garden was "out of bounds" until his return. The reason is because it was getting complicated once we had uncovered the brick rubble and packed orange sides. Since 2 weeks ago, the level of other quarter of the pit has been reduced, but due to the blue tarpauline it was impossible to see how it looks. Job of the day was back in the herb garden. Whilst Clayre and Cat started to excavate the path down to 3 bricks, I started to remove the remainder of the raised soil in the old grass area of the herb garden. For me not many finds (brick rubble and mortar) just the satisfaction of completing the job.
After lunch I took Cat's place and continued to excavate the path towards Clayre. Again more brick rubble and mortar but then a piece of glass slag. Very pretty. It almost looked like agate. The most wonderful colurs of blue and a bit of green and very smooth. Oh and also the obligatory Victorian pot (white and blue/white).
Re-appearance of Blackbird looking for worms for "the kids". One actually made an appearance. A right fat little birdy and not suprising the amount of worms we've been providing.
