I am planting my early speeds tomorrow, Stephen, but they will go into pots in a (slightly) heated greenhouse and will go out later, with thick fleece on hand if required.

Stephen ,I would not normally plant them this early but my wife starts her latest chemo next Thursday so im making most of the opportunity

Nice sunny morning after days of rain. Propagators up and running so I'm out to the polytunnel to get the spring sowing done.

Rain and gale force winds here not a nice start to the day

Glorious sunshine here again with a light breeze, sleet and snow forecast for tomorrow, so I will resist any urge to garden just yet.

March, in like a lion.

All done. But I was fooled by the sunshine. Had a fifteen minute shower of hail with a gusty wind behind it. At least by the time I'd finished the sun was out again and is still out

Our light breeze has developed into a howling gale, will settle in front of the telly and watch the rugby this afternoon, had my exercise strolling round Mozzers getting the shopping done.

Meet the newest member of the family.
The 35kg resident German Shorthaired Pointer is thoroughly intimidated by her, lay in the car for four hours with his bum to her.Runs away when she walks towards him.

Oh Peter she is beautiful!

The lady that bred our wire haired Viszla Ambush is now breeding these as brighter & better working dogs & keeps posting pics. Tempted indeed but our next will be a smooth haired Viszla, which are brighter than the wire haired, far less dirbbley & less skin problems. Like I say tempted, but as getting older need a velcro dog who does not go far. We had springers for years so have had our time of madness, so just stepping down but got to have a working dog, but with some attitude! If I had a border collie or something obedient I would miss the surprises!

Our dog is a border collie come sheep dog he has gone blind with cataracts I take him the plot every day he is now a chicken dog as he lies watching the chickens if one makes a cackling noise he is not happy with he will bark at them ,he follows me everywhere never more than a yard away talk about me and my shadow

Oh... miss my dog. He's been gone over 20 years now but I still sometimes imagine I can hear his little paws padding around.

Curses, I was on the point of going out for a walk and the rain arrives! I had just checked the forecast, ehich suggested it would be windy but dry.
Ah well, I'll start some bread first, hoping the shower blows over.

Ah well. I'll have to wear a different jacket!

The wind is howling has been all night but I think most of the country is the same ,first thing I went to the animal feed store for two bales of straw to give the chickens a treat ,I picked the first one up it weighed a ton it was saturated with all the rain so I decided one would do
