Brambles Sting!

Brambles are mostly finished.

Spot the two robins!
Hauling out bindweed and brambles have left me scratched and sore...

Brambles sting! And we have two Robins...

After yesterday's rain, we managed to spend a few hours pulling up some of the rampant brambles and bindweed at the bottom end of the garden and I am scratched and stabbed.

Squeaky, my 6-year-old, took some pics of mum in action, picking brambles and rhubarb, pulling some more apples down, and working hard. Making up for my 'woe is me' post yesterday? I still feel overwhelmed by the work involved in taming our garden but I am being inspired with new things we can do.

Apples from tree have been juiced.

An aside, my hubby and I got a babysitter and went for a rare night out - to a quiz run by North Herts MS Society, which we had much fun doing and hopefully spending money on helping the branch to help others with the Monster. We neither won nor got the booby prize. And it had the bonus of putting me in touch with people who help with Extra Smile, a church group who support local families with house or garden projects.

Last of this years rhubarb.
