I have spent a fair while over the last few months painting the back of the house. Here are some progress shots. On one day the air temperature was OK for painting, but the sun was fierce, and was heating up the window frames and walls too much. So I pegged drop sheets to the guttering to act as sun screens. It worked very well.


And here is the final view. I won't try to paint the section covered by the awning at this stage, it is just too difficult. When I get rid of the sleep out that holds up the other side of the awning, it will need to be taken down, so I will paint that wall and gutter section then.

How my garden grows...

This is the raised garden bed I put in about six months ago.

And here it is now!

The wooden edging has weathered a bit, but the plants have really taken off.
