A Daily Pattern

Things continue in much the same pattern each day at Norton Conyers at the moment. Each morning first thing we check around the garden for signs of rabbit destruction and try and flush any culprits for Shandy to catch, an all too infrequent occurrence these days sadly, I think our bunnies have developed wings! This is followed by two hours of barrowing horse muck as we slowly cover the vast expanse of the fruit canes in order to smother the summer weeds. Only then can we move on to some of the essential spring tasks, yesterday we finished potting up the dahlias, then spent half an hour removing roots as Giles rotivated the new veg patch. Pruning the willow hedge took up the rest of the day, thankfully it was dry, if somewhat chilly, as traditionally it always tanks it down with rain! It made me realise that I'd never photographed the garden from this perspective before, a rather pleasing shot I think.
