Gardening in the Garden or instant steps

Today I was doing a bit of gorilla gardening only in our own garden, which is not really what you are meant to do as it is not really part of the overall concept. However there is much to do, even though loads has been done over the last couple of years. 

Now you might be thinking, what is a young eccentric child of cyberspace doing gardening, and you are right, on the face of it this is the Provence of say a grumpy old Ghost Writer, but I do big stuff or I am sent down deep dark muddy holes. What I do not do is play with flowers and the like unless I can use a chainsaw or a flame thrower and I am told both are not ideal tools for a flower bed,

So today I made a couple of steps, a small gravel path through a hole in a hedge that was not there (that’s the hole as the hedge was there), shifted some plants in pots and then painted some stone blue. I know stone is not normally blue, but it works ok in the Majorelle Garden in Marrakesh and I did have some paint left over from painting the sea blue yesterday. I am hoping if all goes to plan I might get to make a tree and paint that blue tomorrow, but me and plans do not always go together well.

We have also reached the point in the year where in the evening all the fairy lights at the front of the house can be switched on again, We have about two thousand of them I think at present but I have a feeling there are another two or three thousand to go up soon. It is one of the reasons Mr Jones is often lurking round the house, he says Aliens will see our house as a landing beacon at the edge of the woods with its strange glow from the myriad of little lights.

OOOooooo and I had bacon and chips for tea so YUM………
