Actually, a lot has been done, and I promise to take some pictures of it soon, but meanwhile, we’ve been doing a lot of un-house-related stuff so here are some pretty pictures to help you wait.<\/p>\n

We went down to Poole and visited Compton Gardens, which was lovely and very inspiring for our future gardening. Lots of acers and rhododendrons. The pond bit might be more difficult…<\/p>\n

We also visited a pretty church with an interesting vaulted ceiling and pretty panelled railing to its mezzanine level.<\/p>\n

Simon came to visit and stayed in the wendy house. It’s bluebell season and really beautiful just now.<\/p>\n

Anna and I went on a muck hunt the other day, which turned out to be a great adventure involving asking several locals until we turned up at a plant sale at a tiny village chapel and somebody pointed us toward somebody else, who had a friend who had horses and a muck pile and said we could help ourselves.<\/p>\n

We met a guy who makes amazing folding chairs on his boat\/workshop. He’s called Toby and you can see his wares at www.tobychairs.com<\/a>. They are totally comfy and when I can afford it I’m going to buy two.<\/p>\n

Right, more later and I will take pictures of all the real progress, but right now my roast asparagus is calling.<\/p>\n
