I have been busy planting up a new bed.  It sits either side of the path that goes to the kitchen garden.  I have left a large gap though on either side for the tractor to mow and also to help promote the avenue effect that I am looking for as you walk along it and then turn down into the orchard. Hard to imagine now, I know but you will see when I post the pictures in the summer.  I have ordered David Austin Roses, my favourite and I finished putting them in yesterday.  This afternoon I shall have to do the clearing up after myself!  I have put one of the pictures of my efforts in the projects section of our web site.  Now this job has been done I shall go back to stripping the boarders out.  It had to wait as getting the new roses into the ground was the priority.
