You wouldn’t believe how much fun there is to be had around a table…. When we arrived at the Lakes last week we had a bit of a crisis. Hubs was trotting in and out with all our stuff and I was busy unpacking it when suddenly he said, “Where are the dogs?” I looked …

It’s been a busy and rather nerve racking Easter holiday this year. The sun has been shining and finally it simply HAD to be done, there was no putting it off any longer. Yes, the newly laid turf had it’s first mow and survived to tell the tale!!! Unlike the squash, melon and courgette seedlings …
And so it begins… As soon as I walked into the wildlife unit this week I knew Spring had arrived. From every corner of the room cheeps, chirps and chirrups could be heard, and you wouldn’t believe how deafening they can be, especially first thing in the morning when they all want to be …

Now that it’s the beginning of March, it’s time to look forward to seeing my brand new back garden burst into life. Finally I can see that’s it’s beginning to take shape. Over the last week I have powered away, despite the rain, and now have most of the big jobs out of the way. …
This post is really me thinking out loud at the moment…..and is not for the fainthearted. There is little in the way of good cheer about it, just me trying to work out a few things that insist on running around and around my head in an endless loop. A blog is very good place …
