Humph... you spend hours getting the garden to look nice for company, and when they come over, they say it's too hot to go outside! Ah well.

Next door over the back fence have been pruning. They replaced the rest of their fence (my back fence is their side fence) over the weekend and have taken out a lot of big shrubs that blocked the light. They have also pruned my trees that overhang the fence, which I'm having mixed feelings about. Firstly, they should have asked me if I minded and secondly I'm pretty sure it will improve my light more than theirs...

But I did manage to get my hanging baskets up (swallow nest variety) and now I'm off to the garden centre to find liners and plants to put in them.
