General Stuff

Here’s one of those generaly stuff updates where I cram in some pictures that are not of progress per se but just of life.

Before Christmas we went to the festival of uplighting at the new RHS garden at Bridgewater near Manchester. The place is lovely, if somewhat unfinished. We are looking forward to watching it grow up.

We’d been to the lighting up of RHS Harlow Carr, which was also great. But I think I like Bridgewater better. Just feels kind of fresh.

I am so very going to get a set of uplighters for this garden the very next time I feel like I’ve got money to burn. Yeah right.

Also I took a few photos of just How We Live Now because you never photograph stuff like that (always photographing the pretty or interesting stuff) and then you forget what it was like just in normal life. So here’s a bunch of normal life. It’s a mess.

I do look forward to not sharing my living space with all my tools and equipment.

And the junk I have not got round to taking to a charity shop.

But that day seems a long way off.

We try to make small havens of normality amongsth the building site.

But they get just as cluttered as everyplace else.

Oh, lastly, here’s an update on that glass painting I did in order to leave it out all winter face up and see how it fared. So far so flawless, even through several hard frosts. Nice job, Pebeo.
