I escaped work on time today allowing me to catch the last of the sun in the Magic Garden sitting in a surprisingly mild feeling wind. Ben-cat joined me while I had a cup of tea. The daffodils are going over now with the wind & yesterday’s rain hastening events. The Magic Garden is greening up rapidly though and bare earth is becoming more of a rarity.

I’m currently thinking about painting the fence and having bought a couple of tester pots tried them on spare bits of wood left over from the fence. The colours are smoke grey and arctic blue. I’ve painted the back piece of the rocking chair in the grey and think this will be the end choice.

The other maintenance task planned for sooner rather than later is to re-gravel the paths. I can hear my back complaining already! Hopefully the weather will play ball over the Easter weekend - its allowed to rain while I work but some sun on Easter Sunday would be a real treat.
