Kinda Blue

The Gorse Fox has been helping out in the garden. Now, calm yourselves, this had nothing to do with horticulture. This was maintenance of a trellis built several years ago. Wear and tear, sea spray, and friction from the climbers it supported had rendered the colour pale and wan. The Silver Vixen had decided this needed sorting and so the trellis-work was released from its frame and attacked with paint brushes and blue paint. A further coat will be needed on the reverse side tomorrow, but it's looking smarter already.

A little dynamic re-design has been called for as the original frame clearly had some flaws due to the softness of the wood and weight of the vegetation. A trip to the nearby DIY emporium has seen a selection of wood obtained to fulfil this redesign as soon as possible.
