Glastonbury Crassula Ovata

I have been meaning to decorate the branches of this money  tree for a while now.

I grew this from a single leaf from the great specimen tree found upstairs in The Speaking Tree bookshop in Glastonbuty.

 

Set for Sound

I put the last day of my holiday to good use by dragging my x2 CD shelves up to our bedroom, complete with our CD player.

It has been a nice long weekend. I have got a lot done.

Lovely day off,

with another day off tomorrow. At peace 😎

Fossil Topsoil

 

Fossil ammonites used as a shingle topping on my 30 year old Crassula ovata, which I grew from a single leaf cutting.

See You Soon First Born

My baby girl went back to Norwich today. Its like having a piece of soul taken every time I say goodbye to her. But at the same time I am overjoyed she has made a great new life for herself and is very happy. It's not easy being a father.

Tidying for Amber

Up at six to get the house sorted and put the decorations up ready for Amber coming home for the weekend.

Old Toys

Been washing some of my daughter's old toys, ready go go back in the attic after the fire earlier in the year.

A Proper Sunday

The Green Room

Sorting out the attic after the fire. This is going to be Mrs E's chillzone and indoor garden now we have a pull-down ladder leading up there. But there's room for my dartboard and Guy N Smith trunk (which really is full to the brim)!

Olympics, Gladioli & Crabs

Was stuck in bed until late morning as fudjcat decided she wanted to sit on my lap and watch the Olympics on my phone. She has really got into watching TV this year.

 

When I finally made it out of bed, I messaged Mrs E to show her how her gladioli buds had opened. In the message I foolishly remarked how I had positioned myself like a pro to avoid my reflection in the mirror.

Her wordless reply was just this close up of one section of my photo lol:

Spent the rest of the day removing boxed we had stored from the fire whilst the house was being restored out of the shed and back into the house.

Fudge was happy to be outside with us as she had made it her mission to remind the neighbourhood cats, who had made our garden their home while we were away, that she has returned and that the place was HER territory!

I have been on tenterhooks all week following the listing of a particular edition of one of Guy N Smith's books I never thought I would even get the chance to own. Although it finally went for a princely sum, I had been willing to up my bid if necessary, and to my relief, this little treasure should soon be making its way through the postal system to my letterbox! :)

Moving Home Day
