We finally got round to buying some turf to convert our garden from the dust plain created by removing the gravel from the front lawn last autumn.
So over the Easter weeknd, the lawn was applied and some of the shubbery and daffodil bulbs were re-located to provide a more planned garden.
My birthday plants of lavender, thyme and rosemary from September were finally planted too.
We had a bit of turf left over, so we added some to the back, that was greatly appreciated by the cat, as expected.
This also prompted me to finally completed the new cat house. The last one was originally built as a burdie table but when left on the ground, it was adopted by our previous cat, MC, and then by our current one, when we were in Devon.
The move to Bristol proved too much for the old cat house and it crumbled. So with scraps of wood left for the bin by our neighbour, I rain-proofed it and assembled it this weekend.
Now to see if the cat approves of the cat house too…
Well ML, I missed your posting and hope is all well,At this end we are just into winter and little submoisture in the ground so no winter veg planting.Roy
Any idea what happened to the blogs from islandblogging.co.uk? The basic URL appears to have been taken over by a native North American website.

Hi Bruce, I have no idea – I’ve been off the Islands for a while now so had to divert – I can only guess the subscription for the site domain hasn’t been paid and it’s reverted to some domain seller.
I know there’s a Westray Facebook page, so guess ones for the other islands may exist – someone there may have an idea.
Thanks for letting me know, so I can disable my links.
Facebook does seem to have replaced island blogging.
