Garden Watch. 2016

After a few years of January flooding down at the van, this last winter we were spared. As a result of this and following the Hurley Diet of sun and rain our garden is finally looking the part.

Beautiful white Peonies.
We had severely cut back the lilac tree last Autumn, which has recovered nicely. The flower beds are filling in, the laurel hedging is growing daily, the salix trees have never looked so colourful and currently the peonies are striking.
June 2016. Big improvement from previous years. And mole-free… see: http://mandbtales1.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/hurley-declaration.html

Plus we have had Blue Tits nesting in the bird box we put up on the back fence. Where we have been able to watch them, from the window of our living room, constantly darting in and out voraciously feeding. Our family have now fledged and flown, but we did catch them 'at it'. See Margaret's picture below.
Bird box, success.
