Nah..of course not, its the digging, clipping, mowing and general getting ready for the glorious summer that we know we're going to have this year.
So thanks to the BBQ induced springtime euphoria, I've mown the lawns...well whats left of them thanks to Lulu's toilet training, hacked/pruned some rather prickly roses and pyrocanthia (most things in our garden are prickly) and weeded and rotivated most of the veg patch ready for Jean's seedlings. Phew!
Its been so dry and sunny recently the lawn almost looks summerish!
You can also just about see the temporary keep Lulu ff the Veg patch fence. More of that to come....!I've even bought some rather cunning "bio-degradable grass seed impregnated paper" to mend Lulu's zillions of brown patches. It sounds like a good idea - we'll see how it works.
All this makes me even more excited about our next trip to LGP. We planted loads of bulbs last October and Nicole and Alex have been working hard to create something other than a rather neglected patch of weeds around the wonderful shiny new terrace they've installed. I can't wait to see what it looks like. 
And we've even got our first Camellia out, how good is that?
It'll probably snow tomorrow.
