We returned and there was great relief it wasn't raining! Sadly we were done out of the stunning view as the clouds were hanging low and moisture was in the air, albeit very light. The job in hand was to continue from a couple of weeks ago, when we got well and truly soaked, hence the relief, and to weed the sensory garden of grasses and the like. We then used, as can be seen, some membrane to prevent them re-establishing and planted through the membrane some fresh and colourful planting. We look forward to seeing them mature as hopefully Jo will send us some pics in the summer.
Many thanks to Terry for this week's excellent photographs and to Mark for writing the editorial.
