Last week's hectic schedule finally took its toll on me and I found it hard to get going this morning. However it was a perfect day for working outside, overcast but warm so after the downing of a pot of fresh coffee and some extra pain killers I got on with repairing the path. Stage 4 was mixing up some standard concrete ie greyish, and re-pointing the bricks that flank the path and make up the steps. I cleared out all the loose pointing so there was quite a bit to do but already the path is looking a lot better.
When I first came downstairs this morning a family of blue-tits were foraging in the honeysuckle that grows up the house wall. They were very welcome as I have noticed that being in a sheltered position there are usually a lot of whitefly and other aphids in the climbers growing there.
This miniature rose is only about 2 cms across.
