The overworked chattel gradually becomes a place with a personality. The earth rises up to meet us halfway. I have just finished a bit of digging on the centre circle. It will be ready for planting and sowing once it has had a raking. My next task is setting the poles out for runner beans. Yesterday turned up a pair of good purple flagstones, ideal for lintels or threshholds. Moving them exposed a store of composted manure.That has gone towards rebuilding some of the missing ground. The first of a large pile of oak timbers salvaged from a demolished barn, now awaits being carried to the top of the field. When it's cooler.Quiche and salad served me well for lunch. Now tea and a bimble round the garden to stare at the work to come for half an hour. A couple of photos maybe.
