Cutting back

We were up early this morning, as we had to drop the car off for its service. As we were in town we headed along to the market to buy some fruit and veg. There weren’t many stalls there as it’s school holidays, and some of the stall holders are away, but luckily my local veg lady was there, and the man selling citrus fruit. We’re stocked up with fresh veggies and I got a few succulent clementines for the week.

We headed home in our little loan car, which always makes us giggle, as they’ve always got a lot of kilometres on the clock, and are a bit clunky, but we are so grateful to have it as it means we can get on with our day.

It was such a gorgeous day, I thought I’d make the most of it and made a start on some pruning. I have decided to cut the roses back quite hard this year, to hopefully promote some good fresh growth. We shall need to see how that goes.
