A rare escape....

... from the DIY to enjoy the english sunshine. It actually rained most of the day up until about 20 minutes before the ride... PERFECT.






Ahhh, return of the wasps....

Having removed them from the compost (and subsequently the compost itself) we spotted more at the front of the house... Now one of us has to either go up there and remove the nest, or find someone to do that for us....



Project #10 - Catch the rain....

Big improvement I think! Never want to paint a fence panel again. :)

In the garden....

.... we've watched the wasps coming and going in the entrance to the compost for about a week now - i've managed to prize of the front of the compost with a stick and now we have to treat the nest with some foam apparently. I'm not holding out much hope of that working!!
