Bringing in the Bricks

A few weeks ago there was a post offering some bricks for free.  We spent most of yesterday bringing them through to the back of the house.  
M lent us his wheelbarrow so that helped in carrying the bricks through and restacking them in the garden.

The next stage is to start laying the path . . . . . 

While PJ sorted out space for them I had a wander round to see how everything was going . . . .  more future work!

The Phildelphus is in full flower now, looks and smells gorgeous!  Made me think of all the cancelled June Weddings as this is a favourite flower for the bouquets.
The Sambuca is a wow . . . . 
. . .   and the Cotinus is getting ready to become the 'Smoke Bush', the Buddlia has finished flowering and is ready to be pruned.  

I hope to be able to prune back a few more bushes while I'm out there with the pruners.


I noticed that this miniature Rose is gorgeous, a much more vibrant cerise pink than my photo shows. . . . .  and look!!! 
 a PINK lupin!!!  


All the other Lupins (from a pack of mixed colour seeds) are blue flowered.


The Iris has settled the question about colour - it's white . . . . . not yellow or blue as originally thought!



So here we are, well PJ is . . .  all the bricks brought through and just a few left to stack.
Time for a cuppa and a sit down!
With thanks to the 'new' Blogger for the stupid layout!

  1. YOur shrubs are gorgeous Christine, our buddleia is just about to "smoke" too, we have found a pink lupin and we were given an orange iris to go with our blue, I have to admit to not seeing a white one, must look fabulous. Your Philadelphus is looking fabulous and doesn't it have a wonderful perfume? A Gorgeous rose too. WOW! What a great find - free bricks, you don't want to share some do you? LOL
    Take care
