Befores and Afters
I know, I know. I haven't blogged since like, forever. There's even snow on the header photo! But anyway, I'm not going to sit here and write excuses. Who cares, anyway? I know you all care much more about the transformation of our garden. Well, you can always see the transformation of The Boy here.
So, yeah, here it is as it used to be - kind of without agenda and not very practical:
And then we got a landscaper and his Assistant Youth to come and drill through 12 inches of concrete (though the youth also spent a considerable amount of time asleep in their wheelbarrow. For real.) ...
They also put up a fence and railway sleepers, and we faffed around planting things...
Which have grown, and grown, although unfortunately, the fence still hasn't painted itself.
... so if anyone would like to come and paint it, you would be MOST WELCOME.
In other Before And After News, my Dad had the genius idea of having Harrythedog's hair cut, because the poor hound has never had it cut and has always been hot. It was one of those things we wished we'd thought of before. Years ago.
So today, lovely Harrythedog was transformed from this:
To this (much too excited to pose for a photo now):
Instead of looking older and fatter as we predicted, he looks about 5 years younger and 5 pounds slimmer. Ahhh!
And in OTHER Before And After News - wait! there is more! - in a week's time, C, The Boy and I have the very good fortune to be going to Canada. Part work, part play; all exciting and quite unbelieveable.
So, because when we toured Scotland a few years ago (before blogging and Twitter and stuff) I wasted all the photos I took and the notes that I WROTE ON PAPER! WITH A PEN! ...I am not making the same mistake again. If you click here you'll see where I'll be blogging to in Canada, and maybe after. Who knows? I don't.
Why there? For various technical reasons - all of which are boring.
Well, there you go. I blogged. I'm off to lie down now.
