Age fights me as well - and will prevail in the end.
But today I enjoyed a few hours in the front garden - with the help of my son David and my "son" Jean Michel, a youth from Haiti and friend of John Man and David, I got a lot done. We cut the roses back severely - lots of old wood that had to go. They don't look like much now but they should be in fine form next year.
David sheared my spreading yew back into the rectangular shape I like for it. He and Michel also pulled lots of ivy that was getting out-of-bounds. The ivy was given to me by my father in 1990, shortly after we took possession of Castle MacNessa.
A lot of weeds pulled and general cleanup.

Sorry about the mess on the last post - I'm still learning how to use tables.:)

Very nice that you and the boys were able to get your front garden under control and back into shape.
It is good to see the fruits of your labor.
