Sad

We had a plan for yesterday - to sow the grass seed we bought a couple of weeks ago. The area was cleared by the Work Party last month so we only had to clear the bigger stones initially and rake the path a bit flatter - it was a long path...

We've had a lot of rain over the last week, most of it in one day, but yesterday was dry and not too cold.

And then we went back the other way, flattening it down a bit and then a quick rake to make the soil a bit better for taking the seed.

Raking is hard work on the back and shoulders.

I sowed the seeds and Jamie followed behind with a watering can to stop them from blowing away.

Taa-daa - finished! And that was when we decided to do the ~4-pole area around the toilet. It's got Horsetail so we hope that regular mowing of grass will keep it contained. Roger and his family have the plot next to the path and they're going to put flowers in the sunken wooden troughs all round the edge - won't that look lovely!

Now we just need some warm sunny days and wet nights so that the seed germinates and can take a hold before the weeds do!

The blog title is a small memorial for Jamie's Dad, who sadly died last week. Very sad. Here he is with Jamie, a long time ago.
