Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

Hope the weather soon improves for you Geoff!
Actually managed to get Big Bertha, over all the plots this afternoon, and it’s starting to dry on top already, now the soil has got some air back into it…. my shoulders are letting me know already, that I had to wrestle her, a fair bit….🙂

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

It’s been raining steadily for a couple of hours now…..real shame as it was drying nicely! I still have my Gooseberry bushes to prune, so better get them done this week sometime!

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

I remember the aluminium containers, for School dinners….there was a kitchen at Milton Bryan School, so dinners were sent off to a local school, and it was a Mrs Horsler, that ran the village post office, that delivered them…..🙂

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

A really good drying day today, although the wind has a real bite to it!
They are showing heavy showers for later, but hoping we miss them….next week is looking dry, so hopefully will be able to get on the allotments, towards the end of the week.

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

The wind might have changed direction, on the way home Retropants!🤭🤭
It certainly put some rain down in the night,….the lawns are very soggy!
No more big branches down but, hundreds of little twiggy bits laying around!

Re: Winter Bits and Bobs.

The wind dried up everything nicely here too….but had a bit of a lucky escape at the Big House, when a fair sized branch came crashing down, just a couple of minutes after I had walked under the tree!
The rain is meant to be starting anytime now and carrying on until tomorrow morning!

I was cutting a large Laurel hedge, and the wind was whipping the cut leaves about, all over the place!

Lovely picture, Geoff.
