Blowyout suckyup windy thingy.

I must admit that the blowyout suckyup windy thingy machine makes the leaf clearing much easier even if it is difficult to control where the leaves go!
The back garden was full of grape vine, bay laurel, hawthorn tree and clematis leaves.
The front garden full of silver birch leaves everywhere. Problem with them in the front is that they come in on peoples shoes so we are constantly vacuuming them up, or to be more accurate Marlane is constantly vacuuming them up!
So out came the machine, you know the one I mean, and most of the leaves went into the compost bin, especially the thousands that I sucked up as the machine shreds them into tiny pieces which is brilliant for compost.

Took the bike in for a new front tyre this morning, freezing ride of about 4 or 5 miles there and back but the roads were surprisingly dry and frost/ice free. Lucky really as it rained shortly after this photo was taken.
