The End of Winter...

Just before the month runs out, not that there's too much to show and tell about.
Isaac and his mum & dad came for a visit one sunday lunch, and he wanted to be covered up and hide under the lounge pillows before emerging with a roar just to do it all over again..


The gates are all in place, just need to get the power connected up to them. 

 And the wall unit the joiner measured back in January has been installed.  Its great not to look at a piece of ply on the wall covering where the fridge protruded into the living area!  Waiting on the electrician to connect up the 4 wee lights along the top of it.  And, have to hang the artwork and get another one framed for that area.
 Saturday we started getting all the roses in with a row of buxus along the front edge around the lawn area.  Two rows of Old English roses here in front of the house.  Waiting for the standard roses to come in the next couple of months.  Chain in the background as the down pipe for front entrance.  Meant to have some circles of glass around them.. haven't got that far yet.
Finishing off the pavers up to the chimney deck.  Next step will be tidy up the asphalting.  Have a few roses to replace in this front garden behind these pavers.  Large standard weeping rose died on us after being temporary in the shrubbery for the past season.  Sad after so many years in the middle of the roundabout.
We're working out what tile or stone to put on the front concrete entrance.  Have samples of natural stone pipi colour.

Grandad Did-Dell brought Isaac in to see us at work last Friday and he gave me a painting he'd done while at his day care.
That's us till springtime (which arrives next week!).
