.The old french doors...

Moving along nicely in settling in. It has been around 5 weeks or so now and we have come along way in the clean up and gardening. I have already started new gardens and planted out many trees and plants with still many more to go. We were lucky enough to inherit a small orchard of various fruit trees along with a wild blackberry bush...well actually many. The inside has been painted which on its own has made a massive difference. Eventually the bathroom and kitchen will have a new makeover but for now we are making do. This morning I tackled the blackberry problem and ripped out many of its spreading offspring.

They have a beautiful little blossom flower but are covered in many thorns.

Along the front of cottage was a massive garden bed pulled up with a smaller garden filled with seeds of hollyhock and foxglove.

A very large potager, with 12 large garden beds and a cherry tree island garden.
