    We’re not the greatest gardeners in the world, until this year I pity any new plant coming to our home, as It was like signing them to an early death sentence!

    This year though, the lockdown has had amazing effect on Claire and looking after the plants in the garden, nothing has died!!!

    This is the left hand side of the garden, which had been completely overhauled by MJ Limited.

    So the DIY project starts, now you have to remember, prior to 2020 as mentioned before, my DIY skills was breaking up stuff or passing a screw driver to my father in law and sometimes I got that wrong!

    So to paint these wooden chairs was a BIG thing for me lol.

    Now me and DIY, is like England and Europe, America and Trump, potatoes and chocolate, they simply don’t go!!

    Before this year, all I was good at, was breaking or smashing stuff up, or giving my father-in-law a screwdriver.

    We had been very lucky to have found a great builder called Terry, who we could leave at home and go of to work, as we TRUSTED him that much.

    Sadly in February 2019, he had a heart attack whilst driving and never recovered 🙁

    All I hope, is he is proud of me as he looks down at what I have done this year!! Thank you for everything you did. Also in our early days to my father in law too, especially the bathroom tiles. Plus our next door neighbour Ron, especially with the garage window frames.

    Of course this was simple, well you have to start somewhere don’t you, so giving the kitchen unit a cleanup and tidy up, little was I know to with the English weather performing so well what was too come!!Kitchen unit
