Our First Flat

A bit more gardening for good measure.

Having realise the garden (if you can call it that in it's current state!) was beginning to resemble a jungle, we decided it was time to get the lawnmower out again (or more accurately, borrow it from Ben and Katy again!) to attack the "lawn". As well as that it was a good opportunity to do more weeding, and also move some of our new plants around.

Hopefully in the summer we should be having the builder round to sort the steps and door out, so we've also been planning what to do with the remainder of the garden when he's done. Suggestions are more than welcome...!

The Heater arrives, just before the Hot weather...!

As with most of our big purchases in the flat so far, eBay came in to it's own again last week when we managed to snap up a Garden Heater (or an Alien lamp as Sara calls them) for the bargain price of £80. It was a self-assembly job, and after a few botched attempts we managed to get it up and running nicely. We didn't realise quite how tall it would be, and now have a very large feature in our very small garden. Never mind, I'm sure we'll appreciate it when the Autumn starts drawing in...!

Also this week, Henry finally rolled out the Green Carpet and got a good Scalextric track up and sort-of-running. One of the tracks seems to be a bit dodgy, so we're in the midst of investigating that at the moment (finally, the Multimeter I got for Christmas comes in handy - thanks Mark!!).
