    Given that the title of our entry this year was ‘My Last Breath’ , it didn’t bode well 😱

    I have lots of seeds germinating, and still after all these years, I doubt it will happen, and when it does, am filled with wonderment.
    Totally agree! After about 40 years of seed sowing, I still rejoice at the sight of germination.
    Me too, got 17 lots on the go at the moment, no more sowing until end of the month, I can catch up on emails, sort out my photos do some knitting , read a book, I’m a hermit anyway so it won’t bother me.

    have just sown some tomato seeds which I found lurking in my supplies in the shed.   Fingers crossed they're still viable.   The last 2 years I've bought small plants of heritage toms from a chappy at a local plant fair but that's been cancelled.  Sowed some chilies too as it's hard to find any here with flavour that aren't also volcanic.

    I'm praying (metaphorically) for some settled blue sky weather so we can all appreciate the sky without plane trails. Last time was the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud fiasco and I've never seen the skies so clear since.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    The hum of the planes I never really noticed before has gone.. The birdsong is more noticeable now.

    Careful what you wish for @wild edges.  It's sunny here and the air is riven with all the local chaps, home on shutdown, and playing outside with their lawnmowers.  Normally only happens on Saturday.

    We've noticed there aren't so many planes flying over us into Bristol and our NDNs appear to have got back from Spain ok.
