I am looking forward to my birthday next week.  Not looking forward to getting yet another year older but the fact that on day day two young fit men will arrive to work on two of the trees in the woodland garden.  It is the work I am excited about not the young men!  This will allow more light into this part of the garden and when they have finished I shall be able to start more planting of ferns on the fern bank which is behind the had rail to the steps in this part of the garden.  I have had the ferns for some time but decided to wait till the tree work was completed till I planted them as it would be my luck for large pieces to tree to fall on the newly planted ferns if I had not waited. So trowel in hand all I can say is roll on next Thursday!
