Busy busy

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us, including a beach wedding where we are the official videographers. We met with the clients at the venue and can see it will be stunning with the blue sea, sandy beach and the ceremony under the palm trees and lots of opportunity of 'arty' shots.

Another wedding reception, this time of our friends son, they had already done the official paper trail in the UK and a blessing with reception for family over here, so this second one is a more relaxed affair for family and friends.

Then its our village fiesta, so three nights of music till gone 3am, Lots of hussle and bustle and traditions, plus we have a gig for a private bbq pool party which will be fun.

In between all that will be hospital visits for various scans and tests which stem from a regular Well woman check, so its all go, its also very hot, so having to keep cool!

We have now finished the hard landscaping for the old cactus garden, but its all on hold now as everything is starting to wind down for August and its just too hot to do anything unless its really early in the morning.


We can now plan the planting and decide on the colour of the rock infill, we are thinking volcanic for some of them which is a red/brown colour just to add some contrast from white!  During all this work our garden fork went missing, we looked but just couldnt find it, then tad dah...........
It had been completely enveloped by the wild bind weed whilst it was languishing against the back wall, the bind weed is a pain as it seems to be oblivious to the drought conditions and just keeps on tangling everything up, mind you it does have such vibrant dark purple/blue flowers which do look very pretty.
Enjoy your day what ever you are doing,   
 take care xcx

  1. Ha ha, probably good that you're so busy, you'd get enveloped by bind weed if you stood still. The fiesta sounds like lots of fun, enjoy.

    1. Yes you are not kidding, it is so thick in places and of course resistant to pulling out. So glad we are not festeros this year as we were last year, you have to stay to the end and clear everything away, at least we can go home even if you cant sleep with the noise!

  3. It looks wonderful where you are Chrissie-the cactus garden is going to be a treat, The fiesta sounds fabulous-the Spanish culture is so colourful! The bindweed fork is amazing-if you had planted it on purpose it couldn't have come out better-looks like some kind of feature art!! Alison xx

    1. Thanks Alison, we are having to think very hard about the planting bearing the drought in mind, also that part of the garden is quite a way from the water source, I agree with you about the fork it did look rather good unfortunately the covering is extremely crispy and brown xcx

  4. Gosh you have done so much work. Amazing how the weeds have taken over your garden fork, it seems a shame to disturb it really, it looks like a piece of modern art! xx

    1. Must admit we did cheat a bit as we had a chap that does to help, especially in the beginning as Chris's hand wasnt up to doing heavy work, glad that bit is done now. It was only by chance we found the fork again almost buried in the stuff, shame it didnt last. xcx
