Oh, my back!
Janet is a real brick. Now that I’m so heavily committed during the week, she is managing to keep the allotment under control almost single handed. So I couldn’t refuse her request when she asked if I would have time today to cut the hedges. After breakfast I changed into my working clothes and lugged the generator down the path. It took most of the morning to trim the hedges into shape and I was ready for a rest when we went home for lunch!
But then it was back into the fray! We’re having a bit of a party next week ( two rather significant birthdays in early June!) so I decided to ‘trim’ the beech hedge alongside the drive. Big mistake! Two and a half hours later I was still clearing up!
However, after a hot bath and a couple of pints, my back is beginning to ease up a bit! And the hedge looks very good! I think I’m now a couple of Brownie points in credit!
have your say
