We went to Melbourne yesterday to stock up on some dry goods for the pantry but more on that another day.

When we arrived home I took a few photos as I wanted to show you GMan’s latest landscaping handiwork. He built this garden bed using salvaged timber from the original front fence. That was a few weeks ago and it has been on hold as he seemed to have hurt his back while doing it. Anyway, the construction is now in place and has been filled with soil. We have planted some bulbs which we salvaged when the fence was rebuilt. I think they are freesias and hopefully we will have some flowers in a few months.

Meanwile, we have added a couple more native shrubs to the front garden which is gradually developing.

The autumn colours are everywhere and we are enjoying the view of the neighbour’s trees on the fenceline.

Finally, we have another good crop of lemons on the tree which are almost ready to pick.

The last couple of days have been rather mild for late autumn so we are enjoying them before the weather is forecast to turn cold and we early next week.
