When the gardens sorted it will be time to sell....

This garden is a bit like the Forth Road Bridge's paint job. When it's finished, I'll be three months late for starting again

Decided to make a start on tackling my absolute jungle of a garden. Off to buy a chainsaw tomorrow.

Buying a house with huge garden with a river and 30+ 100 ft trees seemed like a good idea at the time.

Umbongo, this weekend I will be mostly beetling around Swaziland. What a fantastic place, mountainous, tartan socks, people love the ENglish, misty, rain and cold .
Should be twinned with Scotland really.
We just came down after nine days in Kruger, this time I got some great shots of leopard in a tree scoffing a deer, and Mrs Eo got two minutes of two elephants fighting.
Links and pics to follow in a few weeks.
Went to a cultural village today, to see a tribal dance and to see the way the Swazis lived

Didn't realise you were on your hols. Fantastic.

Many decades ago, my dad took a cine film of an elephant having a dump. I have happy childhood memories of giggling helplessly as he ran the film in reverse.

Will probably do some pork pies in a few weeks just need to get hold of some pigs feet so I can make a proper jelly. Not really going to bother with gluten free pastry though.

Only doing it cos MrsB is really intolerant of gluten. Have done regular pastry before without problem but for some reason the hotter stuff turns really crumbly. Ended up having to add an egg and then chill it to make it workable. The regular stuff should be moulded when warm. Came out nicely in the end though.

And I can report that the experiments were a success

Gluten free hot water pasty is a pig to work with, but the end results tasted good.

Making a start on clearing the garage out.

Experimenting with gluten free pastry for a pork pie.

Drinking beer and watching Rugby.

Tonight leveling some of the new lawn
Sat - laying a path
Sun - off to a friends littlest's Christening, I have to do my Marlon impersonation again. All back to ours afterwards for lashings of Ginger beer.

Mainly I will be fretting that the exchange and completion for our house sale in London and purchase in Devon goes through in the timescale we are aiming for. Aiming for completion on 2nd Oct.

Other than that chilling, drinking beers, eating great food, getting rid of crap that we no longer need, and enjoying time with my youngest son who turned up at our place as a surprise last night at 11:30. The wife knew he was coming. I was the last to know.
