Been quite busy this summer working on the new house (I moved late May). The house contains both a painting room and a gaming room for yours truly in the basement (yes, I'm very lucky Laurie loves me...and is afraid of spiders, thus abandonning the basement to me!) and I've been working on both. Being a completionnist I'm not showing pics of the house...yet, as there is still much to do.
But I did start a new hobby; gardening! My previous townhouse had but a small patch of land, which allowed me to learn the trade with few consequences, but this place has a big backyard! The previous owners did a truly great job with the garden, so I just improved on it. It was a lot of fun and, dare I say so myself, it looks freaking spectacular! If you had told me just 10 years ago I'd spend many week-ends gardening...
So yeah, I'm showing off!

Very little painting done this summer, although I did spend the little free time I had on prepping miniatures. I should be ready for the Analogue challenge and the cold, bleak, garden-less Canadian winter!
Very nice! I know what hard work it can be. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas!
DeleteBeautiful garden. Hard work pays off. See you in the Winter for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteYep! Wanna do a super small Oldhammer challenge? Think about it... ;-)
DeleteVery very nice pics... Your garden is really beautiful. The previous owner make a good job. Now this is your job to keep it clean :)
ReplyDeleteMerci Nico. Ça m'arrange, l'été je m'occupe de l'extérieur et la copine de l'intérieur! Je déteste laver la vaiselle! ;-)
