We've had a wonderful week of astonishing weather here - not going to last any longer, unfortunately - today the kids spent a large part of the day outside playing with friends in the front gardens and riding bikes, scooters, etc on the pavements and in the road. Olivia and her friend Eliza made elaborate paper kites, which they tested in the park and Sarah and I had a trip to the garden centre to find some colourful annuals which will tolerate the drop in temperatures and sunshine we are bound to develop any day now (i.e. pansies and primroses).
We tidied up the front garden and thre some flowers in some of the pots (you can't really see any in this photo, though). Just recently our neighbours have had their front garden paved for a driveway, and in the process, have put up a new fence to replace the horrid old one, and removed all the rather awful shrubs/conifer tree along the line between the two gardens. They are putting beds along both sides of the drive, so will plant some more appropriate, more attractive vegetation there, but it looks a bit bare at the moment - still, looks a bit nicer than what was there before. I am NOT an avid gardener, by any means, but I don't mind putting some plants in pots now and again...

Wow! What a difference in the front yard. Now, you will need a few more large pots with something tall for that side. Maybe I can help you find something when I come over this summer.
