    We were digging out a garden and dumping on boards on otherside of the road with digger and dumper. Road looked like a dirt track when we were finished, all clean now though took us an hour to clean up.

    Weeding beds, pruning shrubs and hedging . The sun didnt make it through today.

    Planting bare root hedging - still bloomin cold tho! Tidying up herbaceous borders yesterday, and basking in very warm sunshine - difficult to imagine two consecutive days being so different!

    I don't work Fridays so I can spend time with my family but the people who work for me were out and about.

    Today they ripped out most of a front garden and re-planted as necessary. You have to work a tad harder to keep warm but this usually ends up with a delighted customer - which is what we had today :)

    I almost wish I was out there - in South Bucks it was glorious in the sunshine

    At the nursery sourcing plants for a garden which I will plant on Monday. Tagging and ordering trees for another job. Fog all day.

    Because of my massacred thumb I was using the backpack to clear leaves and some shredding for the compost heap at private customer. One of the boys across the road sorting a couple of wind-blown limbs that had been wedged up the tree and cleaning off broken limb on another that a lorry driver and driven into and broken off yesterday. Then he cut some grass to tidy up a little. Then up the hills for an hour to cut back some hydrangeas for one of our favourite customers - a fine end to the day! Then clean the new van. The End.

    Frosty this morning.

    Working for Wyevale Garden Centre in Beverley. Had to grit the footpaths first thing. Otherwise been flogging Noble Firs and Nordman Firs (non-drop xmas trees) to the masses all day. Foggy on the way home.

    Was laying granite paving for a customer yesterday, more next week.

    Garden centre again tomorrow - no rest for the wicked!
