Simon works more magic with a paint brush!

The finished summerhouse

Simon at work

Simon has been very busy with his paint brush lately and eveything he's touched is looking super smart - especially the summer house!!  So smart in fact, I was shamed into trimming the lavender hedge even before Monty Don! Having managed to squeeze in between the cart shed wall and an overgrown bay tree with steps and a paintbrush, we waited for him to finish before trimming the tree!!  Just how bad was that?                                                                                                                              With our Twilight Garden by Candlelight event going ahead at the end of the month,  it's perfect timing for a coat of paint.  It's also comforting to think that it's all done before the onslaught of the winter weather.
