Yesterday we didn't work as Dave wanted to give his shoulders a rest. So we went off to the library to re-stock with books. Had a lovely peaceful time reading and scouring the bookshelves as there were no other children around (all back at school ha ha!!) In the afternoon we got on with making the framework for our willow lanterns that Eilidh had started at art group. We all have the beginnings of a lantern each now so they can be covered at the next group with lantern paper.

Today it was back over to Steve's to get some more of his garden done. Both Eilidh and Ben helped out a bit today, weeding, digging, pulling branches down to the bonfire and other bits and pieces. That was in between playing on the computer with Jason, playing on the drums with Joel and throwing sticks for Levi (their Staffy dog). We seemed to get quite a bit done today, Dave was laying some old carpet to clear a path through some of the woodland, which will be covered with wood chippings later and I was on with the weeding of the front formal garden again (this seems to be an endless task). We also managed to cut down some overgrown shrubs and cleared away some Elder...so a good days work.

I will try and remember to get some more pictures tomorrow as our blog seems to be severely lacking them at the moment!
