Well despite another dreadful weather forecast, it was another sunny but cold day. Things are getting serious now, so while I went off to buy 100 trees or so....


.... I left 2 workers to dig the holes for them. Couldn't help thinking of the old school arithmetic classes - if 1 man can dig 6 holes in 1 hour, how many will 2 men do if you leave them unattended with a thermos flask, a large piece of cake and the newspaper? The answer on this occasion was quite a few but not quite enough as I did get rather carried away at the nursery.

Anyway by the end of the day we had 30 more gum trees planted and holes ready for 25 more.

And this all took so long that we had the pleasure of seeing the most amazing sunset. A real surprise as we don't see sunsets from our current house. Cant wait till we are enjoying them from our new deck with a glass of red wine.....
