No time off for good behaviour!

 Day 2

Turves cleared and surface stones raked ready for the start of digging/clearing.

In the meantime, the Head Gardener decided to smarten up the front of the house by 'pruning' the roses!

Day 3

The digging begins ...

... and meets with approval !

The weather continues to be dry and good for working in the garden and Sue is plodding through the beds clearing out the dead and dying vegetation.

I don't think she is going to get it all done before the band of rain/sleet comes in the middle of next week.
