kicking it into high gear...

The May opening date for Sams Creek Bookworks is approaching at an alarming rate (eeek!!!)
so we've kicked things up a gear here at the creek...
 

Today we took delivery of a mini B-Double load of mulch


and so you get  better idea of just how much mulch a mini B-dub load looks like...... 


here's our strappy big boyo up on top the 6ft high pile......


 yes its a LOT of mulch!
 (67 metres aka 28 tonne - 
which I think is more accurately described as a FRIGHTFUL amount of mulch! 
we will start to move this mountain tomorrow)


The garden is an integral part of the 'bookworks' operation - it's vital to get to a certain stage for opening day - so we've been planting and weeding and preparing garden bits everywhere.....


purple garlic on the go 


 broad bean seedlings (and weeds galore!)


I love working in the garden in autumn.


We've started painting the exterior of the studio (weird sneak peek of the door colour - a word of warning - if you visit in person you might want to don sunglasses first hee hee heee)



I feel a little bit like a mouse on a wheel right now.... going around and around and around ... but not really getting anywhere.... I just see all the jobs not yet done and am having a small freak out!

Just to add to the stress - I'm in the middle of another exegesis chapter (must be handed in the other side of Easter - eeeeeeeek!!!!!) and as you've heard me whinge before - writing does NOT come easy for me..... this chapter is a real challenge (why-oh-why did I think I could write anything about Pragmatic philosophy and link this to my work? foolish woman!)


at least I have the garden and studio preparations to think about - which might help me stay sane!
