Sunday July 30th

Going over the top with the maintenance of the front garden at the moment, which is quite normal at this time of year. Expecting the judges sometime next week, which is the usual time that they make their appearance. Occasionally they try to catch you out by arriving either one week early or maybe later than usual. As a rule they pop a note through your letterbox the week beforehand confirming that your garden has been accepted for the competition. No such note has arrived this year, I hope they got our application, if not I know someone who will be even more disappointed than me. I will let you know the outcome anyway. Taking loads of pictures at the moment, I will update the picture gallery sometime in September. Have a look at the front garden, just took this photo thirty minutes ago, feel reasonably confident. Mind you even if we did not go in for competitions we would still maintain the garden front and back to the very same standard, (hold on is that a blade of grass a whole centimetre longer than the rest).
