Happy Easter DIY Weekend

Spring is finally here…I have had a little peep into my garden and its definitely time to get my boots on and potter about out there…

I didn’t do much in the garden last year…and ‘boy’ am I paying for it this year! I should of cut down a lot of overgrown bushes, but didn’t…and now they are soooooo overgrown, its going to take me a month of Sundays to get it done!…but the sun helps doesn’t it…the warmth on your back…the birds twittering…ahhh Bliss!

Right now I can hear my neighbours mowing their lawn, children playing and laughing, birds a tweeting and bee’s buzzing…

The Easter weekend is looming and I am soooo prepared…I have bought my work tools and I will be out there with the rest of them pruning and shaping…I will also be purchasing my famous red geraniums…which I plant in the garden every year…they are so hardy and look good even if you forget to water them.

Another thing on my list of ‘to do’s’ is to paint my little green Holivan…the sun has bleached the side over the years and she is in desperate need of a repaint..

So I have been shopping around on-line and found a great choice of colours HERE

…But I am still not sure about the colour to paint the white one….Perhaps, you could throw me a few ideas 🙂

 Even though I know it will be a lot of hard work, it is probably best that I start on the outside of the caravan first, because its the job that I am not looking forward to doing most!…because it lives under the tree, it has this horrible mossy green stuff on the roof and I know I will have to scrub like mad to get it off…so I am going to need a miracle paint to repaint it with to repel this from happening again…any ideas?

Then the fun will begin…when I get to work inside….Freddie has told me I can have both caravans, as he is finding it hard to get comfortable in the little green one…so I might rip out the beds and draw unit and put a free-standing table at the end so that a more comfortable chair can be used…I’ll have to add some kind of mat underneath though to stop the chair from marking the floor…as i would like a chequer board floor…Soooo Retro ay!  😉

…What will you be doing this weekend?Are you doing some DIY…or are you having a traditional Easter with Family and Friends?

Until next time xx
