Garden & Allotment Get A Little Love!
There is a LOT to catch up on. YES – we finally have our car back and that means the allotment is much easier to get to and I can move the many bags of compost out of the front garden. Before I show you what I found on the latest trip to the allotment,…

Plan….E..F…I’ve lost count

New Year Pressure
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! The start of a new year has an excitement about it. We can start afresh and correct some of the bad habits we slid into during the previous 12 months. Being aware of what worked well and what didn’t is a great thing to realise but I for one…
