Something I have been super excited about but had no time to share is the transformation of my front yard a couple of weekends ago.
I had been chipping away at the weeding bit by bit, but not got very far as I kept running out of space in the green bin. But a few weekends ago my Dad was doing up his garden and had a few trailer loads of mulch left over, so he brought it down for us to spread over the roses.
My grandparents and Mum came down as well for a visit, and being a gorgeous day and having the use of the trailer to pile everything we pulled out meant we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a working bee! I was quite amazed that it only took a couple of us a few hours to completely rid the front garden of weeds and dead plants and make it look half presentable again.
It is so nice sitting out there on the chairs under the tables now that it's all cleared up. It's not perfect by any means but it's so much neater and now we feel like we actually have some idea of what to do next with it.
And I am all motivated to get started on the back garden next week now as well!
So, to tell the full story, here are the before and after shots, although in looking at the comparisons I probably need to take some more shots that are from a more similar position, I didn't get it quite right I think! But you get the idea.
