It was quite a week:
- All three of us had a haircut 🙂
- The Boy endured surgery on his toe 😦
- We had lunch al fresco with my SiL
- We learned that demolition of a property near us is imminent and that redevelopment of the site is due to begin in June. While we’re glad something is actually going to happen, we’re not overly joyed about what will be built
- We have a date for our garden redesign
- We are in discussions with local contractors re some work on our house
- I was shocked to learn of the deaths of Helen McCrory and Liam Scarlett. While I never knew Helen McCrory, I did know Liam back when he was a pupil at the Royal Ballet School and I was on the (non-dancing 🙂 ) staff
- We were moved by the simplicity and poignant nature of the Duke’s funeral
- The Boy and I managed another Weekday Walk (more on that tomorrow)
This West London Life 
How exciting to have garden re-vamp plans in the works. I hope we’ll see lots of before & after photos. I know what you mean about changing the neighbourhood with these monstrous builds, no thought to how it affects those on either side of the build. Liam’s death at 35 yrs is too soon & I was surprised to learn that Helen & I shared the same birthday date (not year), again gone too soon. Hoping the TB’s toe is healing quickly.

It’s true to say that we’re not looking forward to the building work beginning. 😦

That toe must be so sore, wishing him a speedy recovery!
Garden redesign and work on the house sound exciting, it’s good to have a project (or two) on the go!

The garden redesign won’t be huge but it will be an improvement. 🙂

Sounds like quite a week! I do hope TBC’s toe is healing quickly! How exciting to have the garden redesign scheduled! We don’t have any plans like that this year, but we are enjoying our two rose bushes that are in full bloom right now!

I planted rose bushes in pots last summer and they’ve done really well. So well, I might move them into the garden proper …

Enjoyed the photos from your walk. Hope the boy is soon on the mend. Does he struggle to walk and wear shoes with the bandage in place? It is helpful in this uncertain time to have a project in progress. We are going to be working on our yard…probably most of the summer.

The dressing on The Boy’s toes is much more manageable now, so he’s wearing soft trainer-type shoes.

Best wishes to TBC for a speedy recovery, but then the young do bounce back so quickly, don’t they. I didn’t actually watch the funeral, but did see the photos and my heart ached for Her Majesty sitting alone in that church pew.
