We have a nook in the back garden. A little corner that perfectly catches the morning sun. It's hidden away so is a great place to disappear with a book (when it's not overgrown with weeds or cobwebs). The dog loves to sunbathe on the decking in front of it. Along the right hand wall is a wonderful climbing hydrangea in which blackbirds nested this Summer, along with a clematis that scrambles across the roof (and in through every gap it can find) of the nook. There's a sickly gooseberry bush in a tub, next to that are some tree mallow and this Spring I planted a LOT of flowers (gladioli, lupins, fuchsia and many many more).

Future tasks noted
- We've got some yucky yucca just to the left of where I'm taking this photo. They are huge and spiky and I know from last time I tried to get rid of one that they have deep and grasping roots. They've got to go. I hate them passionately.
