Garden construction
Last minute garden building...the bed nearly has all of its edging, and we have a new waterbutt..which is getting on for full after 24 hours rain...and off a not very big shed roof!
Meanwhile I sorted out our voting...brother will vote postally by proxy for us...relief! People have fought and died for the right so we should use it.
I have been sent a list by a late friend's brother, of what is left of his book collection (family and closest friends have had their choices already). We have been offered to choose books....such a difficult task. Many I have already read... choosing bedtime reading when staying at Garden Cottage sometimes took over half an hour there was so much choice!
It is two and a half years since Big Pete died...too soon...and the best I can do is think What would he think I should choose.....

I am told my little garden at the old trailer is visited regularly by an old neighbor, who is transferring the plants to his garden. There are hundreds of bulbs; I wonder what he will do with them. I guess I'll know, come spring, by what I see blooming where. I am told he checked with the new tenants, who do not care.
Good job on a full waterbutt.

I keep thinking of a cold frame or greenhouse, and so far... yeah, I got nuthin'.
I'm reading "The Diary of a Bookseller," in which the proprietor of a bookshop in Wigtown often winds up going through book collections left behind by those who have died. It popped to my mind right away when you mentioned your task!
Steve I have chosen nine books...I shall cherish them all, and use them.
