We spent this afternoon just clearing the garden up. This should probably have been done in the autumn but we just didn't get round to it. While Peter kept lovely and warm pruning the apple tree with a saw Alison got frozen cutting back soggy dead plants to make way for new growth. Just as her fingers couldn't take any more cold she decided to attack the Yukka plant. It has been growing amazingly and after removing two very large sections she could then start to get some of the dead leaves off and found loads of smaller new growth underneath, most of which has also come off and it's still huge.
Hopefully this week being half term Alison will get some good days outside and also get more wallpaper removed form the stair well. Decorating has been a slow job recently as she can't stand on her ankle for long periods (it's healing but slowly) and her arm which started playing up in Tanzania starts up again if used for long periods, but we're getting there very slowly. The bedroom just awaits a border around the top and curtains which we ordered last week, photos will follow on completion.
