What is this, the third day of summer or something and finally we’ve had a half decent day!

We’d been planning on making a wooden sandbox for the kids but since money is a little tight, we decided that rather than buy timber, why not get it for free.  So we spent this afternoon down at the beach gathering driftwood.  We came back and laid it all out, removed the sod and dug down a bit.  Unfortunately, and to the disappointment of the kids, that’s as far as we got as there are no building supply shops open on Sundays in our town so the completion will have to wait until tomorrow.

Now to source out cheap / free sand.  I suggested to Bart to sneak down to the beach after dark, every night for a week with a big bucket but he’s not to keen on that idea.

Here are some pics of what is blooming in my garden this week:
