As we are moving house in two weeks' time (yikes!) we have started to knuckle down to the list of pre-moving jobs. One of the jobs was to sort the garden out, which we did with great success this weekend.
The weather was generous enough to stay dry and mild, perfect for gardening but not sunny enough that anyone had their washing out to prevent us having a bonfire. There was just a hint of that lovely Autumn smell in the air of damp earth and wood smoke, mushrooms and dry leaves.
I rather sneakily managed to get my parents to come up and offer their rather high quality skills...needless to say, it wouldn't look half as good if we had done it by ourselves!
I should have taken some 'before' pictures too but I wasn't organised enough, and actually it's just as well because you would have seen the state of the garden before we started, which was verging on embarrassing. We are now feeling very smug and tidy-garden-ish...better start looking at some packing I suppose....
Ah, we did a pretty fine job, didn't we???
