Still slogging on...

Ugh, I'm aching all over. We got a load done this weekend, but somehow it seems like we've worked our socks off and got nowhere much. We still haven't finished the boundary fence, but hopefully you can see what we've done. I think I'm just blinded by staring at it so much, scratching my head and wondering how we deal with the next problem.

What has been nice is watching the kids play out this weekend. Wellies on, hoodies on, and out of the house, bouncing on the trampoline, swinging and sliding, playing rugby(ish), inspecting the neighbours' chickens and ducks, finding minibeasts in the logs we're digging out, and trampling the daffodils. As it should be. That's why we got this house, after all, to give the kids a safe, happy home and their very own park  :0)
