Fun in the sun

It is completely and utterly a little out of character of me to instigate a gardening session, but for some reason today the spirit moved me, and - while the others had a post-swimming nap this afternoon, I got stuck into some serious pruning, weeding and general tidying. In due course, Mr G was persuaded to come and mow the lawn, and then we took a trip to a local garden centre for the annual restocking of the herb garden (I decided that growing "ready dried" herbs wasn't really the look I was going for....) We even invested in some "shade-loving" plants for our problem patch by the shed. Little G and Littler G enthusiastically got stuck into digging holes and watering. A fun family afternoon in the sun.
