Had a great day yesterday in the garden in the sun with Lauraine and Alan. Lauraine used her designer's eye to make the stumpery look better - much more natural, less obviously 'placed'.We laid a path of wood chippings down to the bench and I have just planted Liz Wills' cyclamen and corydalis amongst the wood. Alan decked out the hut so we can now stand on it in comfort for a grand, quite different view of 'Charnwood'.
