Autumn Winds

Another wind-swept weekend, blowing 20mph most of the time, and gusting twice that. It's not made for a hospitable garden, so we've been limited to weeding the blueberry bed (very much in need of it) and starting to repair the fruit nets. I've done the four ends of the gooseberry/blueberry/currant beds, and the mid-length joins in the gooseberry bed. That leaves two mid-section joins (blueberry bed), and the raspberry beds (which comes to four ends and two joins, but are tricky because the beds are so tall). That's for another weekend.

In preparation for Christmas decorating (scheduled, as normal, for the first weekend in December), we thoroughly tidied the house, and I finally managed to replace the locks on the back door (long overdue: I could only lock the door from inside, right handed (and, occasionally from outside—only if left-handed: bizarre), and put up the new lights in the dining room and hall. We got these to match the lights in the sitting room, but it's taken a while to get round to installation.
