A wet recovery

We are slowly catching up with the backlog left by the work on the roof last year although progress has been slowed by the wet spring. This has however had the benefit of filling the culvert under the house and the Festival Walk channel which I always like.
 
Some of last year’s planting is coming into flower. We have filled some gaps in the bed by the Festival Walk wall.
 
The Friends have taken over the mowing of the grass as part of the Council’s budget reductions. The rain has made our mowing a bit erratic but it is otherwise OK.
 
The baskets have been hung on the front of the house and we have started catching up with the front garden which has got rather overgrown.
 
I hope to clear some more of back beds over the summer but I don’t want to do any major clearance until the birds have finished nesting.
