No new photos this weekend because we've had a couple of busy days attempting to start taming our out-of-control garden. I've no idea what we're going to do with all the weeds, clippings, branches, etc. we're collecting. We're fast running out of room in our compost area. We used to have a regular garden bag collection but the chap's retired and we've been offered a wheelie bin by the company that's taken over. We'd need about six each month for the amount of stuff our garden produces!
One good thing to come out of it is that Sean and Georgina have expressed an interest in growing a few veggies. I've cleared a couple of the veggie boxes to get them started. Now lets see if the enthusiasm lasts long enough for them to do any planting and actually get to eat any of their crops. I'll bet you a tenner they don't, lol!
The photo was taken last summer and shows a few of the many houses around Lake Rotoroa (or Hamilton Lake as it's more commonly known). If you look closely you can see people on the walkway that goes round the lake so some of the houses don't have a lot of privacy.
Some beautiful properties around that lake. Lovely panoramic image. Good luck with the garden clearance. It's always getting rid of the stuff we clear out that's the problem, isn't it? We have to cart ours down to a council depot on a Saturday morning, where the council men are paid to stand around and chuck the garden waste onto the lorry. I can't for the life of me work out why they don't do a collection, instead of half the village driving down with trailers every Saturday morning. It can't be environmentally friendly!
