TWO SPEND SOME TIME IN THE GARDEN

Today I helped Paul replace the workshop roof. When I say helped I was his assistant there to make sure he did not fall off, to help with the boards that he could not lift on his own and to hold things on the roof while he climbed on and off.
In between my work as his assistant, I took some photo's to save me just standing around , here are the results.

Ashley came outside to keep me company while I worked.

 a close look at the lovely Ashley's face.

Paige came to keep Ashley company while I helped Dad.

Paige could have blended into the garden in all her green!

A closer view of little Paige.

Is Dad calling? Paige asks

Ashley watch's Mum rush off.

I wonder where Paige is?

Oh there she is !

The girls are left waiting on the side of the Lych gate.

Paige watches some ants walking by..

Meanwhile at the other end of the Lych Gate Ashley is watching a little duck that's flown onto the side in front of her.
Ashley does not like birds to be too close, she worries that they will fly up and get caught in her hair.
" nice duck " says Ashley nervously " Go back down there nice duck, shoo !"

Suddenly another bigger duck arrives. " Oh No ! " whispers Ashley then slightly louder says " Nice ducks go away nice ducks...please.. !"

"HOY! " says a loud voice " get away from my sister SHOO!" Paige rushes up behind the ducks who quickly fly back down and waddle off quacking noisily about loud rude little girls with no manners!

"You okay Ash ? " Paige asks

" I feel so silly " says Ashley
" Oh don't be " replies Paige giving her a quick hug " I am the same with beetle " she shivers " They make me cry! Come on lets go play somewhere until mum gets back !"

"These are new!" says Paige
"Well the paving's not " replies Ashley " It's been about for years but Mum said she wanted some paving here and Dad said he use this old stuff for now "

Paige looks around while Ashley continues " Dad said he could put some pots on here but Mum's thinking a bench for us kids and a few flowers for the twins to look after "

" Well I like Mum's idea " says Paige looking round.

" I agree " says Ashley " we'll have to talk Dad into letting us have this area " they look around for a little longer, then Ashley suggests they go find somewhere to sit.

"This is better " sighs Ashley " We can keep an eye on Dad while Mum makes him a cup of tea!"

" We could do with a bench just like this " muses Paige
" But much smaller " answers Ashley " Mind you we have got the wooden one those bears keep hogging!"
"Mm that's true " agrees Paige " yes a nice wooden bench would be really good in our new garden "
" It's not ours yet!" Ashley reminds Paige
Paige smiles , she knows Dad cannot say no to one of his girls.......................................
