This is today’s second post, because I jumped the gun and fired off the first too early.
In order to clear the area for Aaron to finish his work on the back drive, I had a bonfire this afternoon. At one point, walking back to the house, past snowdrops, hellebores, and other early flowers, a sudden raucous squawk and ungainly flapping sound alerted me to the cumbersome upward ascent of a brightly coloured male pheasant that had emerged from the ground beneath the bird feeders near the kitchen window. Because my camera was sealed up in my working trousers pocket, I was unable to get in a shot of this unusual visitor.
Fortunately there was enough of Jackie’s superb lamb jalfrezi meal from two days ago for us to have some more this evening. This time we finished the Isla Negra together.
Ah, I wondered where the evening meal and accompanying beverage went ….. good to see the post rounded off! The garden looks rambley and my kind of great!
Thank you Pauline. It was the garden that sold us the house, but it was completely overgrown. We were so lucky that we had a good summer in which to get it into shape
The house architecture is awesome.
Thank you Sartenada
I love your home and your garden. How I would enjoy showing up at your place with boots and gloves on, and have you put me to work. The little carpet of snowdrops is delicious.
Thank you Crystal. Feel free 🙂
