More, outdoor

It's been a lovely dry weekend so we've managed to get outside and do stuff ...

When we bought the house we thought we'd have to re-render this side which was really badly weathered and cracked. That might still be the case, but we've extended the timescale by painting waterproofing paint with fibre glass in it onto all the cracks and gaps. 

Pip has even painted the plastic downpipe partly, to see if it sticks on. If it does then the top half will get done too. It's all looking much better.

Meanwhile I did more weeding of the rockery area and steps. It doesn't seem like much but I've filled 3 green bins this weekend!
