This time last year, our teeny weeny house was surrounded by bush and it  was fast encroaching upon us!  This was all because of machinery failure and the only thing that we had working was a weed-wacker to clean the 10 acres of land!  Here are some pictures of our bushy yard:

Well, this year the walk-behind brush-mower worked the entire year (that is a record for us in the last 15 years!) and we have managed to get the place cleaned up.  I guess Gnome’s parents might appreciate these pictures as they saw the place last year…they wouldn’t recognise the place now.  Ooooh look at this; beyond the pond:

We are piling up all the branches and leaves…there are probably about a dozen of these piles now after our mega clean-up!

Thanks also to Panda who has been helping us with the big clean-up…an extra pair of hands and a machete is always a great help!
