Front end tidying

So, over the last couple of months, we have been really concentrating on the back and it is looking great. However, just to spite me, the front has gone nuts at the same time.

Today has been very much a tidying session. The nemesi were out in force and they'd brought their friends, the paininthenecks and thebloodyrootswontcomeout. While annoying, these weedy b------s underestimated the power of the Pete and were soon littered across the path, wilting in the sun. With the hedge trimmed and the thing round the door given a new 'do', the front looks civilised again....

Next thing out here is to decide what to do with the actual garden bit. So, if any of you has any ideas, please let me know in the comments...
