Paint Your Fence

The winter in London Essex could prove a challenging time for our small gardening business.  It is no wonder that a builder friend of ours told us it is called 'the kipper season', because men waiting for work sit in their vans amidst cigarette smoke like kippers.  At this season last year I recall one customer asking us to paint her fence.  Now it is time to attend to our own.

In honour of my birthday tea on Saturday my husband has been out painting the fence in a rustic brown.  Our good neighbours who erected it had already covered the other side.  There was not quite enough paint to finish fence and shed, but guests looking out of the patio windows will see that he has made a good start.   

Practice makes perfect.
