Spring clean

It was another lovely bright and warm day. A day to spend some time out in the garden. There were some domestic tasks to clear first thing, but they were soon out of the way.

The Gorse Fox cracked out the Karcher pressure washer and got stuck in to the paths and patio. Over the year they had become a bit grubby. Some of it was a green film, some were black stains. The Gorse Fox started with one of the pressure wands, but that was taking too long. The Gorse Fox then remember that there was a round hood that looked like a metal detector to fit the pressure washer. This made a huge difference. It cleaned the slabs very effectively, and very quickly. It probably only took about 90 minutes to finish the whole job.

Just as the Gorse Fox served up some soup for lunch, the doorbell rang. It was a gardener that he had contacted last week. One of our trees was leaning at an alarming angle and needed to be straightened, also we wanted one of the acers transplanted. The chap looked as if he was probably skipping school, but was obviously old enough to own a big van with all his details on the side. Anyway, he and his helper got stuck in and did a pretty good job. For small jobs like this, the Gorse Fox would certainly use them again..

Had a nice walk this afternoon. After a lazy few days, it was good to stretch the legs.
