Bits and pieces

The stairway railings to the gite entrance have now been painted. 

We've made a garden bed below the trellis to grow some climbers, recycling bricks previously used in the garden. We have a lovely bright red bougainvillea, bought by Jane's mum, to put in here.

And the magnolia lives! After our severe pruning earlier in the year we have magnificent new growth and lots of fragrant flowers. Phew.
