and imagining a better year to come (in the gardens, at least).
It may be cold now, but spring will be warm and sunny with just the right number of showers.
The plums and damsons will be covered in blossom and give a huge crop.
All my hen and duck eggs will hatch and less than half will be cocks or drakes.
June, July and August will be hot and sunny, tomatoes will ripen early and there will be no blight.
There will be more than the one ladybird we saw this year.
There will be an Indian summer lasting into early November.
Now, who's going to spoil my dreams?
I would like a pair of those glasses please 
He says they had a very good night though...
