Round the garden

It has been a very rainy May and June this year, which has been very helpful for revision-motivation, but not so wonderful for post-revision fun!

However it was nice and sunny yesterday (Saturday) so we spent a little bit of time in our (neglected) back garden!




A rose (I'm surprised there are any flowers still alive in our garden given our neglect of them in the last 4 months we've been living here!)


I just downloaded a photo editor off the net and have been playing around with it!

Picture minus editing.


A lady-bird!

(or lady-bug if you come from the other side of the Atlantic!)

Chris, doing a man's job in our jungle...err...back garden!

(regarding hideous fence in background...this is a rented house!)

(in the end the blades of the lawn mower both broke so Chris had to cut the grass using a sickle...!)

Ooh, what photo editor did you download?

And also, are you serious? A sickle? Really??

Kisses,

Thanks for the compliments!


Linds; the photo editor I downloaded is Serif PhotoPlus 6.0

It's not bad; but is totally free!


Also, yes! A sickle!! The people who used to own this house were from the Carribean; there were only 2 gardening tools in the shed, and one was a sickle!
