There aren’t, the bee hive was set up by a local beekeeper to try and tempt them out of the hive they’ve built in the stables wall, they seem pretty comfy in the wall though

It's been a tragic Summer for us too in Co Down. We actually needed to put our heat on at the start of July. I don't think I've ever done that in the 15 years that I've been in this house. It really does make the colder months feel that much more awful when you have a bad Summer. But your garden is looking fantastic. Lee x

Another excellent video. Most definitely, seeing a surge of people re-evaluating who they are and want they want to be triggered by the Covid lockdown. We can see that by the millions of individuals who have dropped out of the employment market and are now making life suit them. I think the increasing number of youtubers showing their transformation of derelict small holdings across the whole of EU is further evidence of a major shift in peoples needs. In terms of your landscaping, just to confirm if you are utilising a plastic wire form of stripper? The type of plant growth you have on site and will have for the near term requires a strimmer with a solid metal blade. You can see that Morri is also loving the free space of the 4 acres with her mum, lots of things to discover, watch and smell but at the same time also has the tranquility of the countryside when it is snooze time. ❤

Is the timber under the water tank/heater wet/damp? If so, rot may be an issue? It may have just been a different colour, but camera moved vto quickly to get a good look. You are obviously more confident with the equipment and your actions now ❤ Are the stones in that area granite? Love listening to you talking out your process. I do enjoy the talking, then action. It adds perspective. Oh and that grass is so satisying.
