18th April 2026... Camellia and Pool

The camellia is looking very sickly, and has lost leaves and flower buds for the last few weeks...so shes going into the ground.

Dave has been working on the pool (water storage facility!) were not allowed to fill a pool legally...but we use our collected winter rain water..
