We have tamed the summer fruiting raspberries and the Helen blackberry with the loganberries. They are all pruned, tied in and manured ready for hopefully a good crop next July/August.
It has been a bit of a job but with a bit of perserverance, bending, stretching, string and secateurs, we have at last finished. This is perhaps just one or two percent of the work to be done in the garden...!
Kate is with us, she arrived last night...in a celebratory mood as she had just signed up for a new house. Jennifer and Amy (from Hullavington) are still here. We shall mgo to Lewes at 11.45 for lunch and a visit to the refurbished house that was once Stephens. She is considering leasing it from Matthew if only it could be finished soon. There are some essential plumbing things to be done and time is running out.
Kate and Louise will visit Matthew next Tuesday and perhaps they will hammer out an agreement if Jennifer agrees to it all.
We shall be alone tonight as the wanderers return later on. Jennifer has her own car, a Nissan.
It hasn't been any trouble having 3 guests, but it will be back to normaity tonight!
