    That is a fabulous greenhouse @chicky you'll have hours of fun in there.

    I've finished the guest room walls, next is to paint the skirting boards.
    Off for a walk now.

    I've definitely got G/house envy as well @chicky - any I've never wanted one before!
    Glad to hear that your daughter is recovering, such a worrying time for you.

    Took this photo just after the clapping last night at dusk but the beauty of my last white lily tulip against the wisteria on the terrace wall was too good to miss.

    That's what you call a greenhouse. Stunning.

    Hope you are well stocked up with tomato seeds Chicky, that is a Rolls Royce class greenhouse. Well thought out design too with plenty of room around it for maneuvering plants about.

    Been trying to sort out an overgrown shrubbery. It was a tangled mess of multiple hydrangeas and a large rhododendron which had been invaded by gaultheria, laurel, hazel, pyracantha and bramble. There were also a few oak seedlings in there too, thanks jays. My own fault for letting it go wild for a few years, some of the pyracantha was 10 feet high. Ended up on my knees inside the jungle dripping blood and sweat manically chopping away with my loppers. At least there weren't any nests in there although the blackbirds were very interested in my activity.

    Fabulous greenhouse @chicky, lovely views too on your walk @Busy-Lizzie

    And @Hostafan1, amazing. 😁

    I've been doing a similar thing @steephill so you have my sympathy, I think I'm scarred for life but it's keeping me occupied. Burning all the rubbish now over a glass of wine seeing as how all the tips are closed. 

    I was supposed to start the decorating but weather was too nice to be indoors, always tomorrow. 

    Goodnight all. 🙂
