Holiday progress

Just at the tail end of a lovely week off work. Although it went quickly, it was so great to have time catching up with family and friends and making more progress on the house and garden. 

The roses have lots of leaves now and the little Japanese Box plants along the front are settling in. I planted a row of camellias today - they will form a hedge behind the roses. 

The camellias are 'Jennifer Susan', a Sasanqua variety with pale pink Autumn flowers. 

... and Dad is continuing to make great progress on the new kitchen. 

That's the kitchen on the back of the house with lights turned on (north eastern corner). Hopefully we will get some much needed rain in the next day or so...

...and Spring has well and truly arrived. There have been some baby birds in a nest in the Murraya out the front.
