Shrapnel

Been picking pieces of plastic firework shell from all around the garden today, some of them really quite sharp.  Predictably, our dog-owning guest was even less impressed than I was.

On a more positive note, we had a couple of guys in to work with us on the more boring bits of gardening and, as a result, the whole of the remaining 'inner' railway bed is dug over, the terrace bed is de-weeded and the terrace bank's transformation from messy grass to mixed border is well under way.
