If you can't beat them...

Viburnum ? tinus

Back blipped as I wanted to record my operation on the 24th the day it happened.

We have guests at the Lodge for a fortnight so no need for prepping.  As it was dry we decided to try to complete the winter preparation of the wildflower meadow.  s I have mentioned before a meadow needs cut as closely as possible and the cuttings removed.  I mowed the grass down tom the second lowest setting on the mower.  I would have liked it on 1 but one reason we are making the meadow is because the banks are so steep the mower won't cope on 1.

Having mowed and cleared the majority of the bank we came home.  Then I started to cut our own grass.  My impending operation means I can't do anything vaguely strenuous for a couple of weeks or so.  While I did that Clickychick nipped out to our local tip recycling centre to get rid of the bags of grass from my earlier efforts.

The blip is of flowers on the Viburnum (I think tinus).  A number of years ago we moved them from "The Mate's" where they had grown too bigone flourished the other looked on deaths door.  Slowly it has recovered and is starting to grow well.
