<p>Last week I was visited by my nephew, Lewis and his wife Viji.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They were in the UK on a flying visit from their home in the USA and I was pleased to see them. I picked them up from Newark Station after which we had lunch at Stokes on the lawn (always a good venue), then a tour of Lincoln Cathedral and a walk down Steep Hill.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They left mid morning the following day. It was great to see them both here.</p>

<p>On Sunday I collected Jane's Hospice feather dedication and placed it into the garden. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I now have four mini sculpture dedications in different parts of the garden.</p>

<p>The lawn alongside the drive is looking very good since the ash and beech tree were removed in the spring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Where the trees were, I've laid the left over turf and it seems to be growing well. In a years time it will be impossible to see where the trees used to be. The replacement hornbeam trees are in full leaf and very healthy. I look forward to them filling out over the coming years.</p>
