Denise: If anywhere in these blogs J or I have mentioned our garden shop, you should understand that what we meant was garden studio.  We don’t have a shop. We have a studio, into which visitors are welcome, and if they happen to want to buy something … Ah you understand, that’s good. Anyway the, er, Studio we’ve had for the past almost eight years has served us well, but is not in an ideal position (no sun, gets damp), is facing the wrong way, and is too small.  So we are going to move it! And as we have lots of materials left over from building Carrick which for lack of any other use are likely just to rot or blow away, we shall also double its size. And J needs to get this finished for the week before Easter! And when I look out the window, there’s a blackbird making more use of his spade than he is! Now where did I put that whip?
