So I was back at work today after a week off during which the father-in-law was down to install a new bathroom suite for us. It took longer than expected, largely thanks to having to interact with cranky half-century-old plumbing, but after some valiant efforts, it is all plumbed in. We still have tiling and other decorating to do, but the end is in sight and soon we will be able to enjoy a lovely, new bathroom.
During this week I just provided a spare pair of hands where required, acted as a taxi to various shops and spent the rest of the time in the garden with a saw, a hammer, a bag of nails, a spade, a pile of old paving slabs and a few bags of sand. The results (a set of raised beds and paved surround) aren't exactly fine architecture, but I'm pleased with it so far. There's still a bit more to do, but we've already started planting things.

Those beds look good. What are you growning?
Well, at the back there's the old globe artichokes (currently looking a bit sorry for themselves), we already have broad beans and peas sowed into the beds, we have broccoli, lettuce, parsley and spuds starting off indoors, and a heap more seeds to be planted at an appropriate time (like runner beans to grow over that arch). So far, so good.
