Changes to the back garden

There's been a few changes to the back garden over the last few weeks.  My living room window looks out onto it (although I have no access - it's the flat beneath mine that has sole access)

They finally got round to "weeding" the garden although it was more like total carnage because it was so overgrown!!!  There was a bush that had branches almost banging on my kitchen window - that's gone which I'm happy about.  Not so happy is they cut down the palm tree at the back which was only planted about four or five years ago.


But it does give more jungley definition to the black cat that I think lives downstairs now.

After that, we had scaffolders in putting up scaffolding at the back all the way to the roof!!  That's been up about three weeks now, and we've only had builders in once tearing up the roof!!!  That's a nice job for somebody - one day in three weeks!

Lots of poles got used....

The cat came out a few times.....



Then, about ten days ago, we had people start ripping down bushes on the other side of the garden wall and tearing down the manky wooden fence!!

HE'S TAKING DOWN SPARROW MANOR!!!!!
That bushy bush is where all the sparrows lived!
Forced eviction!!!!!

But they did put up a nice new fence though.

Pretty good job really.....

 I've got a feeling that the people in the flat (apartment) below me that have access to the back garden have moved out.  I used to regularly see them weeding out there or sitting in the sun at weekends with a cold drink or hanging out laundry.  I haven't seen them since before I went to Paris over a month ago, and the plants in the garden are turning Triffid.  Like this Giant Thistle at least 4 feet high now!!

We got Tiger Lilies out too!!!  Lily Triffids!!
Shame in a way but good for wildlife I'd imagine

More random photos

A few random shots of the back garden over the last few weeks, starting with an Upstart Seagull.  He still has speckled feathers so you can tell he's a kiddie.

Another weekend we had torrential rain and that's all we could see through the window!!!!!

More recently, we've had new neighbours move into the garden!!!

Random garden pictures....

 We had a ginger cat visit the back garden over the summer.  I think he was a bit shy but he visited a few times.


And this bush had flowers this year for the first tme ever!!  Pretty pink ones...!!!

Garden bush

 This is a very interesting looking bush in the garden.  Not sure what it is though.

Interesting looking flowery things on it too!!!
