We were all ready to go at 10 o'clock and we'd finished within the hour - Jane paints very quickly. She even had some paint left over to start painting the front of the garage.

It might seem a bit gay but I'm trying to get in touch with my feminine side. The Californian Poppies have come up really well especially with the backdrop of the newly painted white barn walls.
