We had a sunny day Saturday, for emptying my brother's old sheds of car parts. Hopefully the move is now complete, I can't face any more. Yesterday, I had a craft fair in Ruislip, in a C15 barn and around. We had a cold bright day, it clouded over, but waited until I was driving home to chuck it dow...

Dry enough to cycle to work this morning, but boy, was it COLD! The wind is still pretty strong, I was cycling against it the whole way. At least going home will be easier!

what a darling kitty! I bet she's a real handful

I am aiming to get the Bay hedge at the front of the drive cut back this weekend. I know it's a tad late, but it's been too wet so far. Then I must clear the veg patch, as it is littered with pots of herbs and general stuff after the laurel hedge was removed. It's a big old mess.

Dear Stravaig, my husband is a tradesman, and he gets paid when the work is complete, unless a larger sum (rare) then he requests a % upfront to purchase the materials.

the aubergines are poking their little heads up today!

Nothing showing in my propagator yet!

Hi Westi, I've been helping my brother finish moving house this week, and we've both been ill, typical! I did manage to get my chilli, aubergine & bell pepper seeds into the heated propagator a couple of weeks ago, fingers crossed! Nothing else has happened outside, as it hasn't really stopped r...

We are helping my brother move house tomorrow. Can't quite believe the forecast! The only sunny day in what seems like days of forever rain.

Many Happy Returns Peter

Me too, can’t get anything done out in the garden.

Oh that’s wonderful Deb! How nice to have found your old post

we had a dry day too Westi, but back to the usual downpours again this morning. Had to drive to work again, I hate it when I can't cycle!

Are we going to get a dry weekend? I’m not sure we will, but I’ll try and pop out in between showers, if there’s gaps, to get on with a few bits in the garden & veg patch.

Thanks Westi, I’ll try just a few raised up in big pots. You never know, I might get some small ones.
