Hello all, have had a busy time cleaning up :-( seems as soon as the garden is tidy, along comes another storm to mess it up. I did have quite a few damaged broms in the garden, and left most lying down until yesterday evening, when the wind finally eased off. We had about 160mm or more on thursday/friday then with the wind and sun (yes, sun) it soon dried out. Theres a couple of massive branches caught up in the trees over the garden, and I have my fingers crossed that hubby will let me get a tree person in to sort it out, as if they come down, they will squash the garden, or me!
Anyway, its lovely to see everyones photos, and seems all are busy busy.
Nev, I thought photo five looked good. I wouldn't touch that garden.
Tash, yours is looking nice and tidy after the muching
Trish, you had me at Chocolate wine.
Shirley, sending a parcel tomorrow
Jean, I stayed at Elmore on my travels. It has a great free camp by the river.
Ian, have a nice time in Cairns. I'm sure Tash could give you some contacts for brom shopping if you need it?
HAve I forgotten anyone? sorry.
Still sore neck and shoulders (not cutting firewood anymore)
