This month has been an absolute scorcher across our region until the social distancing restrictions were lifted… then we got overnight frost, snow, and rain. Typical! Most of our members have been enjoying the weather, either basking in the warmth or getting a bit of gardening done. I had some trees pruned in my garden, they were well overdue the pruning, to be honest, then for a bit of fun and frivolity, I bought a garden shredder and slowly over about a fortnight I shredded all the branches and twigs to be used as mulch on my garden. A job well done I think.
My two rescue terriers have discovered the garden and the joys of sunbathing. This is the first summer that I have had them both and just like two wee children they get up to mischief. I am spending a lot of my time putting up barricades to protect my low-maintenance plants, which are becoming higher maintenance by the day. Of course, the dogs look like butter wouldn’t melt…
