CHARLES IS...

... painting the fence. Not the new fence. That's been treated already and we quite like the way it looks. No, he's painting the old fence outside the kitchen door that has just been exposed when the shrubs were removed yesterday.. The arbour is going to go up against it, so there won't be much of it on show, but it'll look better and be more protected from the elements now. It's a bit of a grey afternoon. Lily is snuggled up in the lounge, fast asleep under her Scruffs comforter. Rose on the other hand, is lying on the decking next to her Dad, watching every brushstroke and just being content to keep him company on this miserable day. She's such a little sweetie!
