It was above zero today but still lots of frozen ground and ice.

I did dig over one bed, just to allow the frost to penetrate further. I hope it will crack some of the clay and kill a few slugs & snails (is that rather nasty?)

it kinda narks me every month to feel like I'm being punished for being loyal. Me too! The constant need for push back is tiring and wasteful. I'm fortunate that the broker I use for car insurance is vigilant and checks the quotation every year. They were exceptionally good when I had an accident (...

So nice to have a dry day today. I lifted some Jerusalems today

Precious little has melted here. I doubt I will try to get the car out tomorrow; the penalty of living on an unadopted road is no gritting (fair enough) and few cars. The snow gets compacted and if it freezes overnight I would slide around for sure (rear wheel drive, only weighs 525kg, ordinary, rat...

OK, OH try this. I just hope it is genuinely from Warwick Davis

I know it is terrible! So bad, it's funny.
