Jackie has spent some time each day recently clearing the rather overgrown front drive. On another oppressively slate grey day she came to the end of the task.
Much of the solanum, roses, and honeysuckle trellis has been cut back; as have
shrubs on the other side, and the euphorbia by the front door cut down. The mossy soil is now mulch around roses.
I filled four more spent compost bags ready to add to the next dump collection pile;
Jackie then swept everything,
including these channels previously full of soil and weeds now replaced by gravel.
Later I read ‘Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds’ by Agatha Christie which I will feature tomorrow.
This evening we dined on Southern fried chicken; savoury vegetable rice; oregano and basil flavoured melange from yesterday, with which I finished the Morgon.
