⛈️Dodging the showers 🌤️🌦️

 

                        There are still some hefty showers coming through !

I kept Ricardo company while he made a start cutting down the old grape vine arbor /arch  .

   At this point , I was a little worried that it might not turn out quite as I had planned !

It is going to become ( hopefully ) a very la-di-da and uppity over-wintering pergola for my Musa basjoo . 

When the weather starts to get really bad ....

I'm going to staple gun fleece or windbreak mesh onto it . Maybe a clear corrugated plastic roof or something over the top .

If we get a particularly cold weather warning I can throw an old coat or duvet over it .

  My thinking is that I want it to be tall enough , that we can use it again for a second year . After that , it will be left uncovered .

It is very rotten in places and pieces falling off . It would be great if we can save it .

                          Almost finished !                                                 

                                           Oh ! I love it SO much !

         A steaming hot Cornish Pasty for lunch and a nice cuppatea !  🫖☕
