....pruning the huge grape vine at the holiday cottage.
I love this job, snip, snip, up the ladder. It covers a very stout pergola and I cut back to the horizontals tied along each bar. It was so satisfying to look at the finished job of neat runs of vine with stubbly little ends sticking up against a very blue sky!

Dear MW, this is a good topic.

That reminds me. 
...we have 2 sections of hedge top to finish from last years round.. 
In a period of inclement weather last week, when all outside has turned to bog, I completed re potting the Pelargonium from dry state into fresh, just naturally damp, compost so they wake up refreshed.
Went to open the conservatory greenhouse this morning and waking up they are...so I felt good job done...and it cheered me up no end..as they were in a terrible state going in to Winter. We will loose a few yet, but they are looking better, after the greater than usual bout of grey mould as they were shutting down when it stayed so mild last back end I suspect.
