Pic of the week
A confluence of good weather and time off work for us both meant that Saturday was the annual hedge cutting day, 2022.
After a good combined start, Becky abandoned me to my own devices as she chatted to a neighbour for about an hour whilst I continued cutting. Am pleased with the job – the hedge is level and (I think) I took quite a bit off.
Don’t know why I’ve never done it before, but this morning I decided to measure the height of the hedge: 225 cm from the top to the gravel on our house side. Will be interesting to see how much it grows over the year. Also took the opportunity to give the box hedge a trim and, as I glance out of my window, there is definite daylight between the hedge and the box (edit: just popped out to measure the gap, circa 15 cm)
And this evening, after tea, I went to take the compost out and saw a long slow worm just outside the compost heap.
