The roses at the front of the house needed a prune, and as the weather was a little overcast and around 20°c, we decided to do a bit of gardening. Brian used the extending secateurs, but I thought the best way was just to lean out the window on the first floor. We soon had it trimmed and it was soon looking a lot healthier. I have also given it some fertiliser, as some of the leaves were yellowing, so I felt it needed a feed. I’d like to spray it, but I am conscious the bees are still feeding, so I will leave that until late September. I’m sure it will be fine until then.

Today was similar weather, and the forecast stays the same for the next few days, and as we don’t have any guests currently, we thought we would take the opportunity to paint the final shutter in this side of the house, as well as the two windows in the Jeraboam.
