It was a bank holiday and traditionally in the UK, bank holidays are spent doing DIY or the garden. And this year, after years of neglect, our garden is slowly taking shape.

Jules built brilliant decking for us to relax on and have a BBQ. He also made beddings for Nora and me to fill with vegetables and flowers!

To help the bees… we’ve planted some lavender, cosmos and some red daisy like plant that Nora chose. They all had a bee sticker on them. Around them we planted thyme, oregano and garlic.

The cauliflowers are growing well… so are the carrots and potatoes!

I think… I might pull a carrot out soon… once I’ve used up the carrots I bought from the supermarket.
