Week 270 – May 10th – Dad’s rose – Part 1
After we got back from Greenwich, we had planned to plant the rose tree we got for my dad in memory.
We had a bit of change up in the rose area of the garden, and now just have two rose trees for my dad and Claire’s mum.
Claire did further planting whilst I cleared up the front drive.

Week 268 – April 24th – Can’t Park
We had planned to go up to London today, for our final elephant charity egg hunt.
We wanted to go up a bit later in the day, to get cheaper car parking at Sidcup station and cheaper rail tickets
Erm NO
There were no spaces at Sidcup station, or New Eltham station or even Mottingham station.
Wasn’t expecting that at all.
We ended up going to a garden centre NottsCutts in Royal Tunbridge Wells and purchased this plant.
Well I wasn’t expecting to be planting a new willow tree in my garden when I left home this morning. -
Week 257 – February 9th – Toilet seat
We had been out during the day and on the way home, we went into Homebase, not realising that it was closing down and had huge sales on.
We had tried to get a new toilet seat via Next, but both of them had issues with, so were returned.
There was a 60% saving here on the toilets seats, so decided to get one and some other items as well and made a great saving.
This was sad to see Homebase closing, as we had used it a lot during the pandemic.
This was actually easiest toilet seat I have fitted -

Week 223 – June 22nd – Not a bad job
So with the weather being decent for our week away and getting warmer for the following week.
We decided to varnish the garden bench. I think it turned out better than we thought.
Do you agree?
Started the varnishing of the bench in our garden. 
Finish after the 1st coat, has definitely given the bench a new life.
