The neat stack of bricks beside the Florence sculpture yesterday doesn’t look like two full wheelbarrow loads, but, having wheeled them from behind the old oil tank last week, and having wheeled them back again today, I can assure you it was.
Afterwards, I photographed a few garden views, demonstrating the proliferating snowdrops.
There was still clutter behind Florence.
Afterwards, Dillon and Flo finished the job.
Later, I continued my reminiscences through my older posts and found a photograph I could usefully add to the text of
This evening we dined on Jackie’s tasty beef pie in shortcrust pastry with roast potatoes, crunchy carrots and tender runner beans, with which she drank Hoegaarden and I finished The Guv’nor.
Oh man, Jackie’s dinner sounds so delicious! Soon, your garden will be in full bloom again! It looks so beautiful in summer. ❤️
Thank you so much, John
You’re welcome! ☺️
Let the blooming begin <3
Thanks very much, Donna x
We just removed a long standing play house leaving a big area to rework. It is pretty shady so we aren’t sure what will go there. I enjoyed seeing your work in progress.
Thank you very much, Elizabeth
The garden is looking great! Ours is still under snow. Nice to have young folks to help.
It certainly is, Laurie. Thank you very much
What goo helpers they are. The gardens are looking nice
Thank you very much, Andy. I hope you are well
I am doing good.
Three cheers for Dillon and Flo!!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Garden looks great. It’s nice to have help.
Thanks very much, Pat. Help is essential these days
Decluttering is so freeing, on so many levels. The yard will look great again, soon the winter will be over and spring will bring us colors.
Thank you so much, Bridget
How good to have youth on your side.
Definitely. Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Your article about “flytipping” is very appropriate Dwight. I’m afraid the end of our Lane sometimes gets used in a similar way …
Thank you very much, Ivor
The garden views are beautiful, Derrick. Jackie’s dinner sounds yummy!
Thank you very much, Jill
I remember that flytipping post. That was a new word for me.
The garden cleanup looks like it is going well. I am glad you have Flo and Dillon to help you and Jackie.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
I have no idea what you’re doing, Derrick, but the garden’s looking great!
We actually haven’t done much at all through the winter, Mike. Thanks you very much
I love that metal “drum” in the opening of your post. It would make a lovely planter!
I think it is going to be fished out of the skip for that very reason. Thank you very much, msw
It’s great to have young, energetic helpers with smiles. The garden views ignite anticipation for the spring growth to come.
It is. Thanks very much, JoAnna
Lucky to have youngsters to help in the garden!
It sure is, Aletta. Thanks very much
😊
Your evening meal sounds wonderful!
Thanks very much, John
YAY Dillon and Flo! YAY for these good helpers, Derrick! Won’t be long and Ellie will be toddling around in the garden and helping, too. 🙂 ❤️
When spring officially sprungs and all of the flowers bloom…the newly-cleaned and renewed garden-spaces will look even more amazing! 🙂

Thank you so much, Carolyn X
It’s great to have young people that help you un the garden (which looks so lovely) 🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much, Luisa
💙💙💙
Are Dillon and Flo your grandchildren or grandniece/nephew?
Grandchildren. Thanks very much, Judy
I should have remembered that, but I am having great difficulty remembering my own “stuff” recently. Which is scary.
Mine can be confusing at times.
A very nice outcome. It is really great when the young folks step up and help with things like this!
It sure is. Thank you very much, Dwight
You are welcome.
Glad to see you’ve got plenty of volunteers
Thanks very much, Sheree
What a great job!
Thank you very much, Ribana
Good work, all – including the photographer. So satisfying.
Thank you very much, Rachel
