We just couldn't resist an extra visit to the section this weekend.

We arrived early to discover frost - something we do not experience in our current garden. Fortunately the trees did not seem to mind

And even the water in the pond was frozen, what little there was left in it.

But the main purpose of the trip was to try out our new toy. Would it cope with the kikuyu grass, the gorse, the blackberry and the fennel?



Well, it made a pretty good effort and we now have a much larger front lawn and a little bit of back lawn.

Oh yes and we heeled in 12 baby gums, to increase the total to 188 trees.

And we also found a rather lovely sunny sheltered slope, just waiting for a seat and a glass of wine.
