Nowhere to Hide






Can you see me hiding








under our jasmine and Hannah looking up








at the pretty yellow flowers,


even Henry (our intruder)








stopped to take a look.



Mum spent 2 days outside 
with the secateurs 








and just look what she did








and as you can see now we've got nowhere to hide!!!

  1. Oh no ... all the hidey spots are gone, gone, gone! What will you do!
    PS now we must go to the dictionary and look up the word "secateurs" since we do not know what it means!

    1. Secateurs are like extra strong scissors (but with curved blades) that will cut through thick stems. The climbers were each side of the garden and looked so pretty in the spring but the fences badly needed creosoting to preserve them and the only way to do it was by cutting them down.

  2. Thanks Ann for asking, we didn't know what Secateurs were either. Sounds like something I could use in my yard. Lucy, I bet that bush will grow back pretty fast. The intruder is very handsome. Bet he thinks you two ladies are very pretty. You all have a great day.

    1. The worse part of this was creosoting the fence panels! I had enjoyed the jasmines through the winter but although I was sorry to see them get cut back so harshly by the time next winter comes they should be (fingers crossed) full or yellow flowers again.

  3. I think Marg is right. The intruder thinks you ladies are beautiful!

    1. His name is Henry - he was thrown out by his family when they had a baby but fortunately a couple took him in (I only know this because this couple live next door to a good friend of mine). He has a lovely home with them now and often goes into my friend's house (they have a cat called Lucky) and makes himself at home there too!!

  9. Lucy we hope your hiding spot will blossom and grow back very quickly. Sometimes it's good to cut things back and they come back even better and more beautiful.
