Hurray!!!

I've finished the bidding document I've been writing and I have to confess that I've enjoyed it more than I expected to, especially all the statistical research.
It is being considered in London, so I had to write a lot of background/context stuff as we were warned at the seminar on Monday that there wouldn't be much knowledge of the position north of the border around the table down there.

It feels good, like finishing some big homework assignment when I was a kid.
Now I can hopefully get back to more personal projects. The greenhouse clear out needs completing, I've some chicken poo to collect for my roses, and mushroom compost to order to mulch the long borders.

And I'm excitedly awaiting an order of herbaceous plants from the world famous gardens/nurseries of Beth Chatto They are mostly things for late summer, and are all tall, so they can go at the back of the borders and give height and sense of depth. It is my Christmas present money, and delayed gratification is always worthwhile when it comes to plants.

This is a crocus shot from last year,but the aconites are already through in the back garden, so life is on the move.
