Construction has begun

 The house has been closed up all day today while we were away, but as soon as we came inside we could smell the sweet perfume of freesias.
 I dug a clump of these up from Mum and Dad's and brought them back here to plant. The clump gets bigger each year. I remember as a little girl picking bunches of them in the old tennis court that used to be next to our house.
 I adored the smell then and I adore it just as much now.

The front roundabout garden is a mass of mauve star flowers.

This apricoty-ish daffodil is one of the last flowering ones of ours. Now we have the messy bit waiting for the foliage to die down before we cut them back.

The concrete slab is down for the willy wagtails!

Beats me how they are all going to fit in there but we know there is more wall work to come. He's not looking that happy about it all though!

And we are starting to think that it must be  nearly time for these two to head off.
The swooping  from their parents is driving us crazy.

Construction has begun. Mmmmm.......doesn't look anything like what I've got in my head!

The blue skies have been glorious here .........

We expect our views of the borrowed landscape will change when the sheds go up.
In the meantime, our views to the south look like this.....

The evenings have been so calm and mild.
I think that might all be about to change!
