Gardening today
Or at least for most of the day so far. I did manage to spend an hour in the shop pressing some of the squares I am making for the new quilt top.
Since then though the day has been too nice and sunny in Snowdonia, so I have spent the time outside in the garden. Makes a pleasant change.
We have an old bath, so have sunk that in the ground to create a bog garden to be filled with water lilies and other boggy plants. As we live on a steep hillside we need to face the font of it with a small slate wall to hide it, and that’s the next job.
There are plenty of natural boggy areas in all the streams running of the foothills of Cadair Idris, but this one will be different and a bit of a feature. Hopefully.
We can then level the rest of the area and grass it (lawn would be too posh a word in this rural and damp environment) so that we have somewhere to sit and maybe even build a BarBQ as well.
Back quilting tomorrow and preparing for some joint work later in the week, just needed to take advantage of the weather and get some exercise whilst still being creative albeit in a different environment.
