Down the garden path

Down the garden path.

There is something about this path making that has really lifted my spirits.
All of a sudden I can see some structure to that big, empty stretch of dirt that we've been looking out on. 

And I adore those curves.

The same can't be said for Bertie's shed. It's pretty much just your normal shed apron ( is that what it's called?), but at least Bertie can now be housed safely and we are more than happy about that.

We had the roof cleaner here as well yesterday. He worked on that roof for seven hours, and still didn't manage to reach the top!

We knew it was dirty, but really....????

Our lovely painter was here today.  

And he will be back again tomorrow.

Through our bathroom window early yesterday morning.......

In the photo you can see that our weeping elm has recovered, but it is still quite bare in many places. They are all dead branches. Haven't had a chance to do anything about it just yet....to be perfectly honest I'm not sure what we'll do anyway!

Oooo...... nearly December 1!! 
Some Christmas loveliness.
