昨日は朝は雨が降り、風も強い（イギリス、結構風が強い日が多い気がします）１日だったのですが、お庭のリノベーションの一環で玄関に置いた月桂樹のポットが風で倒れてしまい、１つは割れてしまいました（涙）ポットは義弟夫婦からチューリップの球根を植えた状態でいただいたものだっただけに、とっても残念です。

It was raining and blowing yesterday (I feel we have a lot of windy days here) and the pots with our new bay trees with bulbs in the soil that were planted as a part of the garden renovation were knocked down by the wind and one of the pots was broken. We are very sad about the pot because they were presents from my brother-in-law and his wife when we moved to England.

思っていたよリずっと背が高い月桂樹だったので「強風が吹いたら倒れそうじゃない？」と言っていたのですが、やはり。家の前の道路はご近所さんが車で通られるのでそのままには出来ず、雨風の中、夫がすぐに片付けてくれ、ガーデン・デザイナーさんにご連絡したところ、昨日の午後裏庭の奥のパティオの側に植え直してくださいました。背が高すぎて玄関には少し不釣り合いだったので、ここの方が良い感じです。玄関には小さめのオリーブの木を植える予定に変更。

The bay trees were much taller than we expected and I was saying to my husband that I was worried about them being knocked over and they were.  We couldn’t leave it like that because our neighbours will need to drive on the road in front of us so my husband cleared it up in the rain and wind.  He contacted our garden designer and she came over in the afternoon and planted them near the patio we have away from the house and I think they look quite nice there.  We’ll have shorter trees (maybe olive trees) in pots to place at our main door.
