| Here's my little mate |
There’s always a lot of work to be done in this garden, as
I’ve mentioned before, the weeds are a constant issue. They’re in not
unmanageable, but constant upkeep is required to keep them under control.
There’s an endless amount of pruning to be done in the ornamental garden up
around the house, there’s lawns to be mowed and hedges to be trimmed. But it’s
nice every now and then to step back and take a minute to appreciate the
surroundings. There is such a diversity of plants, all growing together, and
providing an excellent habitat for the local wild life. I’m not really one for
bird watching, but there are several different species of water birds that all
call this wetlands home. I find it relaxing to watch then. Last Saturday I was
working on the bank, planting tube stock of Persicaria
and Microlaena. It took a few hours,
moving further along the bank, but the whole time I had a little willy wag tail
hung around, flying from branch to branch and tweeting away. I’m sure he has
annoyed at me for invading his territory, but I quite enjoyed having him
around.
I guess I’m lucky to be able to work in this
kind of environment, because it really is quite peaceful. Looking across the
water it’s easy for your thoughts to drift away, and to forget your living in a
major city.
