Last night, we made a sandbox. Both dogs, especially Nell, have a deep love of digging – pun intended, because the first thing she did when we moved here in November was to dig huge craters in the garden. So, in the interests of keeping our new garden (once it is ready) safe from the little diggers, we decided that a shady, tiled corner of the garden had just enough space for a small sandbox – and it would also fit perfectly in my plan to create a sensory garden for the dogs because it’s their garden just as much as ours.
Grace enthusiastically joined in on the building process and immediately understood the point – we still have some persuading to do with Nell, but we’re sure she’ll soon discover the joys of the box too!
