Tackling Allotment Jobs (with success!)
I apologise for my lack of presence lately – life has been busy. While the home-schooling continues, so do the appointments, letters and such for my husband as he continues to battle prostate cancer. When you add in the usual things that need done, it doesn’t always leave a lot of time to get gardening…

Girl Discovers ALL US Presidents Are Related – Except One!
Have you heard about this – would love to know your thoughts! If it’s true, it really makes me wonder about the whole voting process…

We have a stupid seagull!
They are normally a lot smarter than this. We often see this particular bird doing what I’m about to show you. It’s a shame really, I can only assume he fell out the nest early and landed on his head. To give you some context, I made a bird feeder which is clear on all…

This is how you are threatened for not having a tv licence in the UK
We don’t have a tv licence. We don’t need a tv licence – we’ve checked and double checked. We don’t have a tv and we don’t watch any live tv, nor do we watch any BBC channels. What we do have is a constant stream of threatening and harassing letters from the tv licence people.…

Beware the Gumtree Weirdos!
I like Gumtree but…. It’ true, I do like Gumtree, I use it and Freecycle – I don’t bother with the book of faces. Gumtree, I find, is a great way to find local bargains or give stuff away for free. I admit, I don’t find it so great for selling! I had an interesting…

Beware the water flosser
Dearest Son now has braces, which as you can imagine, is a monumental occasion for him. It does bring it’s own challenges and some dietary planning of course, but he is managing all of that very well. The issue is the flossing. As luck would have it, our local Home Bargains store started stocking water…

Dealing with the worst bay on the allotment
From major weeds to a slope, this has it all. I’ve been working very hard to get the plot ready for the season and the time finally came to tackle the worst bay. I didn’t realise it was the worst but now I know for sure. It slopes slightly for some reason, which has always…

Have you ever tried growing garlic like this?
I love experimenting in the garden and few things are as easy to try as garlic. I’ve been growing garlic for years, some successfully, others, not so much. I used to always just grow it outside and let Nature take course. Now, however, things are different. Now I plant outside as well as in the…

Allotment Progress & Other Gardening Excitement
A LOT has been happening in the allotment and garden. Progress on the allotment has been developing at an unusually fast pace (for me anyway). In fact, I’m down to my last 2 bays to do and then I can turn my attention to the paths but something has been very different this time. Sheep…

Catching up in pictures
My blogging habit has slipped of late which is something I’m trying to fix, again. So in an effort to catch us up with what’s been happening on my side, I found a whole lot of pictures I haven’t shown you yet. I am acutely aware my storage limit is drawing near so I’ll need…
